That's not necessarily a good metric. For example, maybe the machine is getting it right 50% of the time out of pure chance, whereas the humans use a process that, although flawed, can be improved over time to get better results than chance.

In this particular case, as the article notes, there's also the fact to consider that the machine learning system is trained on cases identified by humans. It's very unlikely that it will manage to do better than (the best) humans.

Performance on its own can often be misleading (e.g., see overfitting). Very often, if not always, you need to understand why a system is performing as it does.

This is kind of an odd question. It only indicates how old they were when you were lucky enough to meet them. Presumably, that person has been gifted before and would be gifted after as well, not just when they were XX years old.

I would be interested to know the trajectory these engineers had as they aged. Were they average until they got some experience under their belt? Genius from day one, but productivity improved? How did they develop over time and what were the predictors of greatness?

Mercurial vs. Git: Scaling and Architecture
Issuing staking transactions on more than one chain is one of the defined slashing conditions. All the transactions are public so any other staker can see that you've done it, submit the evidence in a transaction of their own, and earn a reward while causing some or all of your stake to be destroyed.

("Some or all" because the devs recognize that you might get hacked, so the penalty depends on how much of the total stake misbehaves at once. If it's only a small portion, it's not damaging and presumed to be accidental.)
Thanks, I will try to find such communities here in Denmark, and see if i can get someone to agree for a little demo. This idea is also good, I can use the advertisement budget on sponsoring pizzas and can get some exposure to my product.
It also triggers a lot of legal implications. In Norway your divorce is automatically approved if your spouse is diagnosed with Alzheimer's.

I'm glad we switched away from Ethereum in favor of Stellar; it will take most of this year and probably next for the dust to settle on this.

Until then, Ethereum continues to be unusable for serious dapps (which are rare to begin with) that have expectations that exceed having reasonable transaction throughput (<4/s, globally, for everyone) and latencies (minutes to hours).

Until then, this is a toy platform for wannabe ICOs, misc gambling applications, and not much else that I would qualify as substantial in transaction volume or user base. I

f your use case is "nobody does anything that requires a transaction to happen more often than maybe once a day and you can justify the high tranaction cost", ethereum is for you. Otherwise if say, you expect to have users that do stuff in your platform, use something else that works right now instead of waiting for the next two years for Vitalik et. al to actually deliver on their promises with something that is usable, scalable, stable, secure, and available.

We switched to Stellar, which also implements proof of stake and provides a reasonable compromise between security and availability. It has its own challenges but transactions clear in <4s and there are dozens to hundreds of them per minute globablly. It also skips the convoluted smart contracts (which IMHO are severely expensive, hard to fix, exploitable bugs waiting to happen) in favor of simple but adequate financial constructs builtin to stellar for custom assets, transactions with multiple signees, transactions with limited time validity and many other features that you can combine to emulate many of the more things people attempt to do on top of solidity. E.g. you can do escrow transactions, payment channels, and many other things. It also scales down reasonably well for micro transactions with values measured in a percentage of a cent (though payment channels are probably the way to go for that).
As a specialist who is currently looking for a job, HR generally only seeks generalists. Almost all interview loops that have been standardized seriously prefer generalists. The mold doesn’t fit anyone and are just generic programming/system design questions that do not evaluate specialist skills and experience at all.

PL specialists are also pretty good generalists. I mean, what hasn’t Jeff Dean done and do people even remember that he has a PL PhD anymore?
3 New Year’s Resolutions for Your Organisation in 2019
Cetrez | Gothenburg, Sweden | Fulltime | ONSITE | www.cetrez.com

Cetrez is a automotive-centric digital studio and product house. We work with Porsche, Lamborghini and others to build digital products.

We are looking for:
- Lead Frontend Developer
- Lead Backend Developer
- Midweight Fullstack Developers

We're growing in 2019 with a large complement of new work from some pretty exciting clients.

Please email jack@cetrez.com with the subject 'HNHIRING' to apply.

Note: Must be in (or willing to relocate to) Gothenburg, Sweden. (it's a great city!)
You can make shallow clones, and auto push to a single repo, it's common to for example auto push to Github from an internal repo. It sure has it's issues, but problems are solved with solutions, simply bury your head in the sand, eg. using single repos where a monorepo is the best solution - is not a solution.
> Because obviously the changes that you make in the gui are completely isolated from the changes you make on the server.

In my experience, that is almost never the case. Often, the frontend requires a new endpoint or a modification to an existing endpoint. If you don't coordinate this change, you end up with a non-functional PR that cannot even be tested. Same happens when the backend proposes an endpoint change that affects the frontend.

We have moved the frontend and backend to the same repo to make coordination and testing of such cases simpler.
Most strategies have a finite "capacity" and if you attempt to invest more than this, the returns dry up. So if you have lots of assets to invest you start to be forced to invest in your 10th, 100th, 200th best idea, rather than just your top 1-5 best ideas. This is why it's very hard to sustain performance as funds grow.

The reason people with big funds are focussed on growing their assets under management is they get an annual fee for assets under management, and this is therefore more reliable than the "outperformance" fee that they also charge.

In the above case, there was a security vulnerability with React with the older version that still worked with v2 of the firebase library.

I asked this question because I wasn't happy seeing React just make breaking changes and cut support off like that.
>> Music is a wonderful thing

Not wishing to seem overly cynical, but marketing types selling snake-oil is also a thing.

>> In 1985, for instance, one study found that diners chewed at a faster pace when higher-tempo music was played. (Researchers measured this according to the delightfully named metric, bites-per-minute.) Interestingly, they noted, diners did not finish their meals faster, suggesting that they had actually been taking smaller bites.

So people chewed faster, but it made no difference to the length of time taken to eat the meal? So perhaps:

"In 1985, for instance, one study found no change in the time diners took to eat their meals when higher-tempo music was played"
While I agree with Crimethinc and that quote, I can't seem to get into their writing anymore. Most of their writing comes across as defeatist or exhausting, but it's understandable because they've been promoting leftist ideals for decades now while the world slides into more and more authoritarianism.
To be honest, if it runs in the browser then it should not be that difficult to make a portable off-line version that launches a server that lets you open stuff through localhost.
You should always have a communication layer between the gui and the server.
For example using protobuf you would update the proto definition (that can be in a shared repo) and when building the gui and the server the protobuf layer is regenerated.
So the only place where you make your changes for the new data contract is the shared repo and the gui and server would automatically have the new changes.
We're taking about freely sharing things by name, if there's a chance my boss is going to fire me just for mentioning the name of your product then I'm going to just avoid recommending it.

I've actually, conversationally, shared "gimp" with a couple of people in the past but I don't any more because I don't want to make them feel uncomfortable or think I'm making a joke at their expense. In a workplace I'm not sharing something that could get me facing a sexual harassment suit (it's not likely, but why risk it), or fired for offensive language (ditto).

or use a VCS that allows partial checkouts of repositories. There's no DVCS that I know of that can do that, but for example SVN can. Git LFS might be an option, too. There are also commercial products that target that market.

I just wanted to point out that reaching a measly TB of data doesn't require much effort. (worked on a product that would version rendered clips for special effect production).

My rule of thumb is: if you need to do PRs in several repositories to do one feature, your projects are either tightly coupled enough that they should be one monolithic piece of software, or your tight coupling is a problem you should work on resolving.

Requiring multiple PRs to multiple repos to roll out one user-facing feature is fine, as long as your independent modules/projects are not actually interdependent (i.e. one of those PRs will not break another independent repo that lacks a corresponding PR).
> At this point you’re just pretending like you don’t know why people degoogle.

My point was: if you've made it as far as de-Googling yourself and you are now not locked into an unethical company, why get yourself into the grip of another unethical company?
Oumuamua was literally the only extra-solar object known. There was nothing to be picked.

Similarly for Ultima Thule. They may have been able to find a different target, but it was very difficult to find any target at all in the first place (lots of Kuiper belt objects are known; the difficulty was finding one that could be reached by New Horizons).

Yes, but most people's phones have broken screens! I don't want to fork out that much money for something that's going to get smashed at some point. This is why I spent that much money on a nice desktop computer, and have a £18 nokia dumbphone. It's rugged and I don't have to worry about it getting dropped, stood on or even care about the remote possibility of damage since I can replace it with another immediately. A high-end phone is something I would worry about getting lost, damaged or stolen.
> These are not seminal moments in space history.

Intercepting a 20 km object in the Kuiper Belt, the farthest body ever explored by mankind, isn't seminal? This also happens to be the first encounter with a planetesimal. It gives us a unique window into planetary formation. This is a very huge accomplishment.
Ask HN: How common is it to independently invent/discover things?
I recently realized that I independently invented/discovered a lot of the things I know.

For example:

- I figured out the Pythagorean theorem before it was taught to me at school.

- When I look at software and design patents, a lot of them are obvious things I already imagined before.

- Most startups, including those asking you to sign a NDA, are ideas I've had before.

Usually, I'll think of a problem, imagine the solution, and only then find out if it exists and how it's called.

This way of thinking lead me to believe that hard problems don't exist, and that formal education where you learn a fixed set of concepts over a long period of time is a waste of time, as I can just figure them out on the fly as needed.

The downsides are that my vocabulary is limited, my knowledge isn't formalized, and I can't tell what's easy/known (common knowledge) from what's hard/unknown (new idea).

Am I describing a unique trait that can be leveraged, or am I just rationalizing a learning disability?
> You're making the false assumption that designing something that last at least 90 days, but ends up lasting 2000 days is more expensive than something intended to last at least 90, and at most 180.

I think this demonstrates the risk op was getting at. Designed for 90 and lasting more is not an implicit assurance it will last up to 180. It changes expectations and that always Cascades.
I think it’s a bit disingenuous to attack that presumption, given that the magazine sells posters of guillotines. They definitely play on it. https://jacobinmag.com/store/product/1
In Ethereum there's one disincentive to stake pooling: if a staker misbehaves, perhaps because it got hacked, the penalty depends on how much stake misbehaves at once. A large amount of misbehaving stake could be completely destroyed, while a small amount will lose only a small portion.

This is mainly because a small amount does no damage and is presumed to be accidental, but also helps decentralize since you're safest not using a large staking pool, the most popular client, the most popular hosting service, etc.

Running as a small staker is feasible because the minimum stake is only 32 ETH, you're profitable if you're online at least 2/3 of the time, and the load on an individual node is feasible for a laptop. The computational load increases fairly linearly with the amount of stake, so there's little economy of scale for a large staker.
I think it's great we are moving away from big data collectors and running our own servers. What I usually see is people storing their users' data on servers that are situated in locations where governments can get access to the data on the servers without the owner knowing about it. It's maybe going far in protecting the privacy of your users, but it's something a lot of solutions on the internet don't think about.

That's why I moved Simple Analytics' (https://simpleanalytics.io) servers to Iceland where the law will forbid peeking in data before actually informing the owner of the server. I encrypted my server so if anything happens I can just turn it off and it will be nearly impossible to get any user data.
I hire at a FAANG for two roles where we specifically target generalists: Solutions Architect (design solutions for complex real-world problems) and Technical Solutions Engineer (last line of support for really gnarly cases). Both need people who can cover a lot of ground, and it's hard to be good at either if you don't have significant practical experience and can't traverse the stack from source code to tcpdumps if needed. That said, being just a generalist is not going to cut the mustard, you're going to need depth in at least one field, plus you need to be able to talk to customers too.

Mandatory plug: if you think you'd fit the bill and are keen to explore, find me through my HN profile. Bonus points for being anywhere in APAC, although I can refer you elsewhere too.

Hrm, I'm normally against restricting a free market but saving the lives of animals transcend that. In a sense this isn't different to making companies pay to clean up their waste, except in this case the 'waste' is unwanted animal life.

I'm a little confused about the statement that procedural macros are new in the 2018 edition.

I've always stuck to what Fedora was shiping, and they seem to be shipping the stable versions. Yet I used procedural macros back in 2016 already [0]. Does my memory fail me, or is there some other change that happened now?

This is true for systems where there is a well-defined protocol between GUI and servers and a proper versioning process in place, i.e. most "old-school" client/server systems.

I expect lots of people on HN are working on systems with very tight coupling between client/GUI and server and no proper versioning between them, as is common in web applications. Hence the replies to the contrary: you're probably from quite different worlds :)

(Now, I personally think that maintaining sound versioning practices is a good idea even if you do have tightly coupled control of both the client and the server side. But that may just be me...)

Yes but the waste in PoS is just the opportunity cost of locking up capital, not anything physical.

Your first link argues that the cost is still physical because of stake grinding, but there are solutions to stake grinding.
