skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
Just use AWS S3 (or similar) and shell scripts. My team uses a git repository named something like "data-packages", which is nothing but a collection of shell scripts with the name <dataset>.sh, that perform the necessary download and extraction steps to get a dataset from S3. Data sets are immutable by convention, so any changes to a data set requires you to provide a totally new shell script. That script could download an older data set and then mutate it if you don't want to maintain large copies of big data sets, but the older data set itself is not permitted to be mutated on S3.

My team has found this drastically easier than Quilt, and we do a ton of stuff with reproducible environments in Docker, creating Makefiles to reproduce exact model training with the exact same data, etc. We probably hit just about every case there is (huge models, small models, models where we'd like to train separately or collectively on a bunch of different benchmark data sets, in-house data sets, models that need to be refreshed with new data in pipelines, etc.) So far, Quilt has not been competitive with a simple repo of shell scripts for us, in terms of ease of use or effectiveness in maintaining different packages of data.

The other super nice thing is that when people start out on new models or experiments, we already have our in-house maintained copies of a bunch of academic data sets, private data sets, etc., and you can throw together an incredibly simple Dockerfile or Makefile that uses the appropriate script. It's just one or two lines of shell code and voila, you have an environment with the dataset you want. Check that into git and now your experiment is immediately reproducible from day one. We've found this to dramatically increase the amount of code review that researchers engage in for checking their statistical methodology and sanity checking their intended models or experiments. With Quilt, you have the extra issue of versioning (rather than harshly enforcing all data sets to be immutable ... even just adding one more training example to the data set means you must provide a new shell script that downloads the old data, injects your lone additional sample, and has a documentation entry about exactly what it is doing), as well as the overhead of using yet another tool instead of super standard shell scripts.

For me, any of the tools that pop up attempting to be like conda-forge but for data packages is sort of like taking a gatling gun to a problem that can be solved with a hammer.
That's a great question! So for many people, Cost Explorer does a pretty darn good job at getting you the data you need. However, it takes some extra configuration to get the level of alerting you need. We're not recreating Cost Explorer. We'll automatically notify you of any weird irregularities in your daily spend on AWS on a daily basis.

AWS Trusted Advisor is a pretty awesome tool! However, it's only available to companies paying for Business or Enterprise level support (3-10% of your monthly bill).

This isn't a tool for everyone, but we hope that it provides enough value for some folks.

Very true. Although I have had people come back and say I was right. Not the trend follower, but those that blindly trusted them (usually most of the engineering team)
I think most pros doing particularly heavy processing nowadays have a desktop or server to offload to in addition to their laptops and performance has improved enough for pros with light to moderate processing so that higher portability is better value for most people.

The 2010 ACA law considers employee wellness discounts of 30% or more coercive and potentially a way to get around the ban on individual medical underwriting. While monetary incentives are powerful, people are not completely or even close to rational actors. If poor health and prematurely dying (often painfully) aren’t motivators to take care of your health, what will? Health promoting culture like teaching all kids to cook and eat healthier, encouraging fitness through less car centric infrastructure, etc. are needed to address the metabolic syndrome epidemic.

Frequent reminders, small sub-goals, reinforcement, role models are probably more effective than a four figure fine for being unhealthy. Some people can overcome big problems on their own because they are committed, but once you get out into the wider population a lot of marketing, hand-holding, and gimmicks are needed to get everyone to make significant permanent change.
Some game developers are making AI teams for their games which seems to be the logical conclusion for botting.

Your comment reminded me of a frustrating evening on bzflag.

Long ago I was using a custom Linux box with a slow GPU, and on one map no matter how hard I tried (and no matter how many fellow players watched trying to help me get the timing right) I simply couldn’t jump to the first level of a building.

I’d never experienced a hardware limitation quite like that.

Saying that "your website" should be able to "display" its "content" without JS seems to assume (as so many do) that the web is fundamentally a collection of articles (read them, look at the pictures, link to other articles) with a few exceptions, and keeping it that way is every developer's responsibility.

That's not what it is anymore. It has evolved into a general, distributed computing and communications platform. More and more uses of this platform require doing things that involve customized behaviors, not just the built-in features for displaying articles, so more and more people leave JS enabled. Kids who couldn't have afforded a family PC and MS Office now have a Chromebook at school (and maybe at home) and free Google Docs. And how many people whose only internet access device is a phone turn JS off in their phone?

I think it makes more sense now to treat the JS-disabled, article-browsing case as the exception. If I were trying to distribute public health articles as widely as possible, I would try to limit them to simple text, small photos, no JS, nothing that wouldn't have worked 20 years ago. And even for less-critical articles, if they were just simple articles, I'm still inclined to leave out the JavaScript in most cases for the sake of simplicity, reliability, reach, and archival robustness.

But for general purpose today, most developers in the developed world can assume JS is going to be enabled by the market they want to target.
If the no-go space is larger and easier to fall into, it makes sense to have a more detailed danger map. It might stop a lot of folks from even taking the journey, which unlike real journeys is proper choice. If you are making a DSL for your own enjoyment, don't transmute your joy into someone else's pain. If end users have real issues that your DSL will solve, by all means, make it.
Its not that bad, this man is still too small fry and his words have too small an impact on Chinese society. If you can imagine having a billion messages almost flying around couple seconds from the Chinese population all of which could contain obscenities, trolls, porn, memes critical of govt, and even criminal chatting then this little drop isnt really anything. I highly doubt anyone outside of Baldings' academic and blog circle even knows about Baldings' opinions.
It sounds like a aspect oriented programming.
> i personally am sort of disappointed to see doctors becoming even more sidelined. doctors really do an important job of filtering info for patients, advocating / negotiating with insurance companies, and looking out for them

Tell that to my doctor, who on a routine checkup sent me to the lab for lab work without clearing it with my insurance company. I got a nice $600 bill for the lab work that the insurance company didn't agree was 'preventative.' After calling the insurance company they ended up waiving it, but told me that in the future I should clear every single thing the doctor orders with them, because the doctors won't do it.

The supply of doctors in the US is artificially constrained, and physician care costs more here than anywhere else in the world. Anything that removes them from the equation, especially for basic things like prescriptions, is a plus in my book.

Actually a lot of this spending could be avoided if you could convince the government to let you embed a single wire in the asphalt along with some RFID tags.

Everything that is expensive and unreliable is because they assume an embedded wire is not going to be allowed/done by the people managing the roads.
The claim that outfitting an existing car is the wrong way to approach the remaining problems doesn't seem like a reasonable case to me, at least given my understanding of what those problems are. Is the state of the technology not currently limited by the type and quality of sensor data when it comes to unfamiliar/unsatisfactory road conditions, as well as the shortcomings of neural nets/alternative existing algorithms?

No -- in Lwan, files that will be sent with sendfile() are kept open for a while; when they're first open, the same thread that opened (and this might block) will call readahead(). Files are sent in 512kB bursts. It might use mmap()+madvise(), but only for small files (<16KB)... but, yeah, there's not a lot of control here. I'm not that worried, though; this is but a toy. :)

Registered I/O (RIO) or I/O Completion Ports (IOCP) in Windows seems to be better in this regard, but I don't have a lot of experience in that platform. Trent Nelson, from the PyParallel project, has a few talks about it; it's quite neat.

Originally known as ARPA, Advanced Research Projects Agency, the agency helped create the internet: In 1973, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) initiated a research program to investigate techniques and technologies for interlinking packet networks of various kinds. The objective was to develop communication protocols which would allow networked computers to communicate transparently across multiple, linked packet networks. This was called the Internetting project and the system of networks which emerged from the research was known as the “Internet.” The system of protocols which was developed over the course of this research effort became known as the TCP/IP Protocol Suite, after the two initial protocols developed: Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Internet Protocol (IP). Source: www.internetsociety.org

The motivations for this new initiative could be numerous, including a step back toward the ARPA days, a way to outdo the Chinese in defense applications, and/or a way to make a political claim for the next election.

I'd be curious to hear what more informed people think the motivation might be. Regardless, it seems to be a positive step towards electronics innovation.
Same. Maybe you just have to hijack them at ICFP.
This is why I feel only antibiotics should require a prescription - because of the tragedy of the commons.

And yes, I mean only antibiotics. You popping Vicodin for fun doesn't directly affect me, so it's none of my damn business.
Also politicians continue to push back the official retirement age, and so people literally cannot afford to retire. Note of course that this retirement age is not the official retirement age for senators and congressonal reps in America.

The oldest retirement age for senators in the US is 62. Alternatively anything over 50 if you’ve served more than 20 years.

Or any time at all once you’ve worked 25 years.

Of course they’ve also ensured retirement for them is retirement with full pay.

I’d love to get to retire with full pay after 25 years.
Interesting that they mention Naloxone.

In Australia (VIC at least), Naloxone is available for free over the counter at the pharmacy. Needles are also readily available (and I'm fairly sure they're free).

It doesn't really make sense for Naloxone to be prescription. Smack users aren't going to go to the doctor for a prescription. You can't get high off the stuff, all it can do is take you off a high and keep you breathing until an ambulance arrives.

On the other hand, if I want painkillers with opioids like panadeine (codeine + acetaminophen), I need to get a prescription. Same if I want cold medicine containing psuedaephidrine, because I might make methamphetamine with it.
I've found Mark Rosenfelder's books "the language construction kit" and "the advanced LCK" fascinating to see how much thought needs to go into a language. I felt I learnt more about existing languages from those books than actual language books. He deals with everything - from syntax to phonology to script. LoTR was the book that drew me to conlangs in the first place though.

The community is also fascinating, with folks spending passionate decades on making languages - ex: ithkuil.
> Being in other countries like China and France really makes me appreciate how world class the customer service is in America.

I can't speak about China, but I'm going to call you out on France as a counterexample.

I have had very good service every time I have been to France.

I speak a very little French, and executed most things in English and people were as friendly and helpful as they were anywhere in the US.

I suspect that a lot of Americans get in trouble because they don't really internalize the fact that "Hey, I'm in a different place and the norms are different. Pay attention--you might have to adjust."

Wanna see rude? Try being an indecisive Californian in the front of a line in a New York City sandwich shop at lunch rush and watch what happens.
My guess is most cases where this happens the developer don't know the server is public. I've seen it happen at past companies where DB/Services were accidentally configured on AWS with a public IP and VPC wasn't set up correctly to make it more explicit when exposing public services.
I think it's a little bit different, Mercedes-Benz, Coca-Cola, Nike, and Apple, are all just as much lifestyle companies as they are product companies in their given verticals. The big reason they are able to charge the prices that they do, and retain the clientele that they have is due to that lifestyle image.
"Sustained all-code Turbo Boost" sounds like a euphemism for "We want to say overclocked but Intel won't let us".
Ha, that reminds me. I have a thing for trying out good cafes, and on my way to Berkeley, I decided to stop at one in Oakland. Till that point my ambit had been more or less limited to areas where s/w companies are + touristy spots. So, I never was the only Indian around. But here I was - and I got a lot of stares during my walk from a BART station to the cafe. Which was amusing and mildly uncomfortable.
Thanks for the link. I'd like to see intelligent changes to the system in these cut and dry cases where we are unlikely to do harm through action. The problem is, I don't think statins, the first drug in the article, fall under that category.

BTW, the 33% number you cite in parent comment doesn't include responses to the pap smear question, only the pelvic exam, and is specific to family doctors.
Yes there are, but moving your SSH port is a low cost, very easy and effective way of doing it.
Skinning is probably a slight misnomer. The skins are applied to the player's weapons and can be seen by all other players as well as spectators. They are, in effect, a status symbol.

This feeds into the supply and demand component quite heavily, as you can imagine. All secondary effects follow this initial relationship.

> "Money laundering through the Apple AppStore or Google Play isn’t a new idea and has been done before. In the 2011 the Danish part of the Apple App Store was flooded with expensive suspicious applications. More than 20 out of 25 of the most downloaded applications were from China. The price of the apps ranged from $50-$100. For example, one of them “LettersTeach”, was intended for children who are learning English letters, yet it cost nearly $78. This pointed to money laundering then, however, what we encountered now is much more sophisticated.

I don't understand how the laundering part works. There was a similar link posted to an overpriced book on amazon yesterday on HN, which also alluded to money laundering.

So if I understand correctly, the person(s) who want to launder their ill-gotten cash publish an app with an outrageous price, and then by the same app with their ill-gotten money, thereby turning it legitimate (buy way of the app company)?

If yes, then how much money could you possibly launder this way? Won't purchase of the same app a 100 times (if that's even possible) raise suspicion? And even then you've only managed to launder 50 - 100 x 100 = max of 10,000 USD. This is peanuts for the real money launders who would be dealing with millions of $ monthly.
Why would the wire help you? If you needed precise location information, couldn't the company just add some markers throughout the city? Either stamp large QR codes on corners and traffic lights, or put thousands of Wi-Fi routers around the town, that would help the vehicle triangulate... The latter doesn't even require permission, just money!
> Storage should be in UTC, data can be converted for display

Sometimes we need to speak about events (verbally), or share screenshots of graphs, dashboards, or other data. We can make a habit of always stating the time zone when we talk, and make sure every dashboard/graph contains a time offset.

Or we can just pick a single arbitrary time zone and always use that.

There are a few internal tools at Google that assume your local time zone (I'm in EDT) -- those are far more confusing.

> Also, if your office happens to be in a timezone which observes DST, you are still screwed.

Has this really been a problem? A date+time is unambiguous. I can only see this being confusing if California follows through with abolishing DST.

It is interesting how personal the Vue / React divide seems to be. Nobody on either side seems to have very good objective reasons to use their preferred framework, at least for greenfield development. In the end people mostly just "like" one approach or the other - and this is for two frameworks that at a high level share basically an identical design philosophy. I feel like this must go to something very deep about how people think about software development - what it is, what is important about how it is done, etc.
Backpacking and hiking are different, true. And I’ll admit that on 1-2 hour trail runs I don’t bring water. But please consider that you are hiking in a place with optimal climate. A 12 mile hike in Colorado can take you through 3 seasons, and high enough to develop altitude sickness. I consider myself experienced, but I minimally still bring food, water, extra layers, sunscreen, sunglasses, a knife and a small first aid kit, and I use all of them every time except the first aid. My wife and I also carry two-way radios because sometimes I like to forge ahead. My pack comes in around 10 lbs during the summer.

At the end of the day I’m not even saying you’re wrong. We take calculated risks like not carrying water on a trail run, but they are still risks. Your original post came off like someone declaring a position of authority and ended stating an all day hike can be done without water. I just wanted to make sure people who saw that and might not know better saw another perspective.

Happy trails!
If you and I join forces, we can get the stack exposed in WASM2. Or we can run our WASM on WASM and hope the JIT can handle the inner interpreter.
I highly doubt it. Most vendors try to sell it as an USP and as an "it is easy because it is TLS and runs over 443 so inflexible environments will allow you to work"-type of solution which is trying to fix symptoms instead of causes.

For anyone who is reasonable at *nix configuration, setting up OpenVPN, IKEv2 or classic IPSec tunnels is not 'easier' than any SSL/TLS VPN, which makes it lose a lot of it's value vs. other VPN options.
I was hired on to a company in midtown looking to build out an HPC environment for analytics. I live pretty low in the stack, so my time was spent head down building a system with filesystem and network performance to the lead dev's spec.

The CEO had experienced a major exit in dotcom v1, and was funding the new venture himself. Lead dev was one of CEO's generals from the bubble win. Money was basically unlimited.

This meant we were building a hoss of a system with a latest-gen infiniband fabric, the most ram per-core Intel could give us, and some really high end IB connected storage.

The lead dev's requirements kept getting heavier and heavier despite blowing gobs on leading edge hardware.

Eventually we had an all-hands meeting where someone in sales did a mockup of our product in Excel.

They went to a customer in our target demo and loaded up the full dataset in Excel, and got the answers the customer was looking for. Sales had successfully implemented the product our customers wanted with no absurd HPC systems, but only Excel and a MacBook Pro.

I was reaching out to prospects before my first beer made it to me at the bar that night.
