I skimmed a paper about twenty years ago that pretty much explains the deference to me.

Macroscopic objects are subject to quantum mechanical cascades. The end result is the probability constraints for an object composed of an enormous number of interacting particles rapidly goes to zero.

The example was a playing card stood on a knife edge. The probability cascade causes it to fall one direction or the other. We can't predict which side it will fall over on. But it will fall.

this is how comparison benchmarks are done when you need to reach certain results. I've even had it done to me at my job!

When you point out the flawed methodology you come across like a luddite or sour grapes or whatever else.
I used to work as an apprentice for a GA mechanic (never pursued it, went to college instead).

Disassembling something, inspecting it then performing reassembly and properly torquing the screws with locktite per some published procedure is one of those things aircraft mechanics do all day.

Unless the design of the sensor would make it inaccurate after being reassembled (I'm skeptical of this, it wouldn't make sense for a few reasons) this is kind of a dick move to the aircraft owners that they're probably doing in the name of "look how careful we're being"

Any certified mechanic anywhere can do the former with no lead time and if it turns out the threads are close to stripped out from a loose sensor banging around on there then replace the sensor. It doesn't make sense to replace the sensor off the bat unless you just want to be seen "doing something".
> You know what sells? Mass market phones that meet everyone's needs

Yes, but as of late, those don't exist. At least, none that meet many of my needs.

> why aren't you using a Moto G7 Power with its massive battery?

The battery is an important issue, but not the most important to me. I could compromise on battery life for devices that met my other needs.

I've also decided to bail on commercial smartphones entirely and build my own. I could no longer find a commercial smartphone that was an acceptable compromise for me, and I'm also very much looking forward to no longer having to deal with the Android OS.
> with an error that is so small that you can just ignore the uncertainty and approximate them as classical objects.

I’d say that’s the gist of it, that we cannot “just ignore” the uncertainty because it’s too small, because if you do that then your model and the real world are indeed different. Also, at the end of it all what does “too small” mean? “Too small” compared to what? To a galaxy? To a super-nova? To a planet? To a cat? To the things we try to “discover” at CERN? To things smaller than them? To say nothing of the fact that comparing a number to physical stuff will eventually bring you head on against Zeno’s paradox, one way or the other.

I agree though that using the “too small” trick does generally allow us to do great things, like send stuff to the confines of the solar system or to build nuclear bombs, i.e. it allows us to be efficient, but that does not mean that by being efficient our models are also identical representations of what reality really is, so to speak.

What I’m saying is that maybe the “mathematization” of the physical world is a leaking abstraction, and that maybe we’d be better off by saying “we’ll never really know what the world is made up of”. But the problem is that they haven’t awarded science Nobel prizes to people saying “there’s really no way for us to learn how the Universe really works”, at least not that I know of, at best you’re seen as a mysticist when saying that, at worst as a know-nothing or a cynic.
I do this. I learned a long time ago that past-me could be quite an asshole even to future-me. Thinking in this context allows me to assess the now and try to be a better past-me while in the present. I consider how future-me will react and adjust my actions accordingly.
I think it's terrible for any company to cause an employee to reasonably think they need to pay out of pocket for the company's equipment. "Bay Area standards" have little to do with it. My first part-time job was doing tech support for a small town public school district that had very little money and was far from a flashy Bay Area tech company, but they had a supply contract with HP that covered equipment failure and damage.
This is exactly why Elasticsearch has a soft limit of 1000 shards per node since version 7.0: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.0/...

This benchmark used 4605 shards (5 per index) on a single node, which is way above the recommended number.

Also, to prevent oversharding, the default number of shards per index has been changed to 1 in 7.0.
Wow, apparently you can pull yourself up by your own bootstraps!
My version of it: don't be yourself, work towards being the best person you can be.
Very similar thing happened in Poland. I remember growing up in the 80s in a typical soviet-style appartment block house of 30 flats. My mother used to know almost every family in the building, she roughly knew what was going on in their lives, sometimes helped them in small ways or have gotten the help from them. It was like a small village community. Partly it was dictated by neccessity - due to constant shortages of goods, it was crucial to have "connections", that could help you buy things like refrigerators, cars or even stood in line for bread for you.

After the transformation of 1989, which in Poland was performed by the government in the form of the "shock therapy" (their term), lots of inequality appeared almost right away. Some people did well, some were barely getting by, and some lost their livelihood and were in very bad shape. The community atmosphere of the building vanished, it started to become vandalized or occupied by drunkards/homeless. Ties between families have loosened, the "connections" became unnecessary as the material needs were now efficiently satisfied by the market forces and basic capitalism. The building is now just a bunch of people that share the same roof, but otherwise don't want to have anything to do with each other (as is standard in other capitalist countries).
I really like python's approach, which is to provide syntactic support for type annotations, but have them treated as pure comments by the language runtime. That way, type checkers can check your code if you like, but no one is forced to use typed code if they don't want to, even if they are using a "typed" library.
Thailand's government is a dictatorship. They are BSing, the seastead was beyond their territorial 12 miles, in the contiguous zone in which they have limited power. The exclusive economic zone is not territorial waters either. They have charged the couple with ridiculous "violation of sovereignty" at a place where they dont have sovereignity.

"Elasticsearch crashed after 921 indices" ... Shards: "20 for the multi-tenant benchmark".. 921 * 20 = 18420. Shards have state; they have overhead. Why wouldn't they pick one shard for that benchmark? It's either intentional misconfiguration, or poor understanding of sharding.

I just quoted what the article title was. I didn't write the article.
It wouldn't necessarily need to be realtime - if you're using the device to build/tweak a "fingerprint" of background noise or required corrections, you could do that analysis with samples and periodically push the resulting filter profiles back to the earpiece (or something similar) after the phone has done the number crunching to generate them.

You can already do:

def show((a, b, c)):
print 'a = %s, b = %s, c = %s' % (a, b, c)

And there's no way to pass a, b, and c other than positionally. You can write:

show((1, 2, 3))

But not:

show((a=1, b=2, c=3))

As a fellow climber, a first-time(but long-time climbing veteran) lead climb partner taught me a valuable lesson about this: Always carry an ascender, even if it's not for you.

They are inexpensive, and the 10 seconds you spend feeding it above your harness can save your life. Tying a prusik is easy, and you should be able to do it in your sleep before even thinking about lead climbing outside of a gym. However...tying a Prusik with a fractured arm and bleeding head after a 15-50 foot lead climbing fall before you smack against the face is less-than-easy. In those situations, being able to grab the ascender with whichever hand/arm is not fractured, is far easier than starting a Prusik.

I tested most of the solutions a year or two ago before AWS rolled out Amazon Comprehend. I found that Google’s API combined with some code and open source packages ended up being additive for entity recognition, classification, and semantic text. Unsurprisingly, Google’s custom search API’s are also worlds better than the other places, as is it’s Maps API. I haven’t tried any of the image classification API’s, but I won’t be surprised if Google won here too.

That's completely irrelevant. It's about the "rules do not apply to me because you can't catch me" attitude, same as with people who harass others online without remorse by using various anonymity tools. Removing this possibility would fix it the accountability problems to a great extent and make them behave more responsibly, in line with others.

The value of bitcoin isn't how much energy it took to create, but how much energy it would take to steal. By being energy intensive, it ensures that an attacker or malicious agent who wishes steal it, or install an involuntary tax on its users, is unable to do so without consuming at least an equivalent amount of energy. If they fail to muster up the majority of the energy, they end up wasting money on electricity spent. The bigger the cost of "electricity wasted" through mining, the bigger the risk the potential attacker must take to attempt to undermine its security.

So turns out there are some people who want to save money without it being involuntarily taxed (through forced inflation), and that itself is valuable. Bitcoin has inherent value, and unlike the fiat money it is competing with, that value cannot be arbitrarily adjusted by a monopoly control of money printers, but it is dictated entirely by supply and demand in a free market.

The "BTC/USD" exchange rate is not the value of bitcoin, but is a big distraction. If you are tied up in thinking of bitcoin in dollar cost you will end up being the greater fool who only buys when the price is rising rapidly because of FOMO. Or instead, you might be the greatest fool, who resists it until the last possible moment when you realize the world has moved on and nobody wants paper money anymore.

> People with ADHD need medication to function at a baseline normal level.

This statement is so out of line I had to chime in. I was diagnosed with ADHD as a child. I was medicated for a few years, before I stopped taking the pills without telling my parents (they were being pressured by the private school I was in to medicate, I was kicked out shortly after they found out I had stopped.)

Those years are a complete empty window in my memory, and left me with physical ticks that _decades_ later I still have to suppress, alongside no actual tools for dealing with the symptoms.

Medication is not a silver bullet. Not all ADHD cases need to be medicated. Find what works for you, whatever the hell that is, and don't listen to dogma. For me that was coping mechanisms combined with a realization that much of the "attention deficit" was because I _didn't want to pay attention to the shit I was supposed to_ and _that's completely reasonable._ To insinuate that I haven't tractably found success ("baseline normal") with a non-medicative approach in my life is frankly insulting.

Racial disparities along with systemic racism could provide an explanation. Attained education levels as well. Just some thoughts.
Correct me if I am wrong, the "paradoxes" described here are due to our lack of understanding of the theory right and not because the theory is inconsistent.
It will surprise you to hear, just as it suprised me, that MWI and Copenhagen have been axiomatically identical from day one. I know what you are thinking, something like, "if the problem was closed we wouldn't be talking about it, so it must be open." Yeah, well...

There is a list of axioms of quantum mechanics, Copenhagen and MWI disagree only on how you get to them. (And also on their conceptual interpretation). That's why they're called interpretations of quantum mechanics, not theories of quantum mechanics.
Speed and utilization are not the same. My 2018 MBP was a great speed improvement over the 2015 MBP I previously used, even in cases where the 2015 MBP wasn't using all cores (which really rarely happened, since for the workloads I use, multiple Electron apps and Docker for Mac, typing in Slack would start stuttering as soon as multiple cores were in constant use). I don't think it was ever usable enough at 6-7 cores maxed for me to start new things to try to use that last core...
As a rather frustrated AI/ML professor once described it to me: "AI just means 'unsolved'. Everyone agrees we're working on AI problems as long as we're stuck, but once we're not they decide it was actually just statistics. I wonder if they'll ever notice it was always statistics?"
You are already yourself. Be yourself is not an advice needed, but not to avoid it either. Rather, is good to learn from your experience what is better, to learn better. Yourself one year in future is not necessarily same like yourself one year in past, so, improvement is possible to do.

What would your application offer that Google Flights can't do? I have a pretty good experience using Google for researching and either booking or being linked to a booking site. I can bypass Priceline (and it's child companies) and get linked directly to the airline I need. Only times I have a bad experience is when the price on Google Flights doesn't match the actual price that the airline shows on their site but this is rare.

Not seeing Southwest flights is a downside but everyone is at this disadvantage from what I can tell. It's not a huge deal; if Southwest doesn't fly directly between the two cities, you are better off finding another airline.

Something I do want to see is something that combines Google Flights results and tools (flexible airports and dates) along with Skiplag's results. Google has a nice interface and great tools but Skiplag has that extra intelligence that helps you with one-way tickets.

I recently booked some flights to Europe to meet up with friends. I didn't want to fly their itinerary since it had gone up in price by a lot so I used Google Flights to find other European cities I could fly to and then fly from to meet up with my friends. My dates were flexible and both my origin and destination were flexible. I just needed to get to Europe as cheap as possible (getting around Europe is relatively cheap) and be in the right city on a certain day. One feature that would be good to have is a way to create a larger itinerary that involves round-trip tickets. Google Flights does all one-way tickets when you try to do a multi-city trip.

One interesting thing to have would be some sort of metric on how well the airline is performing. I originally booked a flight to Brussels on Wow Airlines. Imagine my surprise when they went out of business a week later and weren't offering refunds to Americans. Being able to see a small red flag that says "Hey, this airline is going bankrupt" would be pretty handy.
This interpretation of international laws doesn't pass sniff test, and frankly on the same level as sovereign citizen movement. If China builds a floating house 14 miles from San Francisco and declares it as Chinese territory, do you think the US will respect that?

This benchmark is pretty misleading. And not the mention that elasticsearch is free for multi node deployments while redis search is not.

He looked into jobs in us and Japan / China.

When he looked at the US it was basically : planning canceled, canceled, stopped, pushed back for later etc etc. So he moved now to China.

Ask HN: Which learning style is better? Mastery Learning or Spiral approach?
Mastery Learning ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastery_learning ) says that students must achieve a level of mastery (e.g., 90% on a knowledge test) in prerequisite knowledge before moving forward to learn subsequent information. This idea came from Benjamin Bloom and is the philosophy adopted by Khan Academy and others.

The Spiral Approach ( https://www.av8n.com/physics/spiral-approach.htm ) argues that the axiomatic approach is a bad idea. one should plan on revisiting the prerequisites and refining them.

What's the research consensus about the efficacy of these two styles?

I love plain old Redis, but I'm not thrilled with the extension modules from Redis Labs.

I experimented with RediSearch using 20 GB of Reddit posts and I was very underwhelmed.

First, 20 GB of raw data explodes into 75 GB once it's in RediSearch with zero fault tolerance. While I'd expect some expansion with inverted indexes and word frequencies by document, a 3.75 multiple seems high.

And since this is Redis, it's all in RAM, including indexes and raw documents, all uncompressed. That's not cheap. Add replicas for fault tolerance and the RAM needed for a decent sized cluster could be 10x the size of the raw data.

Then the tooling and documentation is very limited. Redis Labs provides a Python client, but it doesn't support basic features like returning the score with each document, even though RediSearch provides this capability if you query it directly.

Finally, I found stability issues with Redis when the RediSearch module is installed. Using the Python client provided by RedisLabs, certain queries would predictably crash every node in the cluster.

Redis itself is rock solid, but Redis with the RediSearch module feels fragile.

Overall, interesting concept but not ready for production use by any means.
Also, in those times when you need a prusik, there is a less-than-tiny chance you are hurt. EG: you're trying to place your cam, and instead you take a 40 foot drop before your last cam arrests your fall by sending your body directly into the face. Prusiks are more difficult to tie(and ascend!) when your hands are coated in your own blood, etc.
