This. Any good data science person needs to understand how distributed systems work. They need to be decent at applied statistics. I think an average engineering grad can easily work with simple statistics they learn in Linear algebra and intro to ML. The good software engineering part is what has been brought on in the last few years.

I once saw some code written by a "data scientist". The overall code was non-complex, but the Java/Scala code was the worst of my nightmare. Additionally, I think other engineers have also matured enough to understand that underneath the veneer of data science, the fundamentals do not change much.
OP is discussing iOS. MacOS is free. Google hardware is definitely less expensive than Apple’s though.
> Instead of using solar panels, they will use small nuclear reactors that will enable much higher power, potentially higher orbits, higher bandwidth, longer life etc.

You'd need like 12,000 kg of plutonium 238, more than has ever been usefully produced, from an enormous nuclear production infrastructure that doesn't exist yet, all for a price that's three or four orders of magnitude bigger than for a similar number of square meters of solar panels. Anti nuclear people aren't your problem here.
There's a lot of hype in software. Just like you were hearing about Blockchain startups only when Bitcoin started trading at 5 bazillion USD and now you don't hear nearly as much about it. During 2008-2015ish we went through an insane churn of new JavaScript frameworks and NoSQL database hype.

Yeah it seems to have calmed, but I don't think data science was just hype because it comes from (and somewhat is) probability and statistics, and the rate of data/information that's being produced by and extracted from people seems to be ever increasing. But it absolutely was prone to a hype cycle as with almost anything else in tech. IMO this is a phenomenon exacerbated by venture capital.
My Climate Journey: a podcast for people who are concerned about climate change
I like how having a goatee correlates sufficiently with the way you speak for a neural network to learn it.
That's definitely true, but I'm really sick and tired of anything that has to do with teeth. Let me know if you want to work on it and I might be able to give you some feedback as a user!
Interesting. This is a hard subject. Not sure if it can be useful anymore to you guys, but if want free training data from our API (https://serpapi.com/knowledge-graph), we'll be happy to hook you up. Hit me at julien - at - serpapi.com.
Apple sold millions of iPhones with 7nm chips while Intel struggles to build comparable 10nm chips and keeps releasing 14+++ nm. AMD will release 7nm chips very soon. It does not seem like they are catching up. Quite the opposite.
As far as I know, K-series parts don't support binning of individual cores- if you have one bad core that'll only hit 5.0, 1-core turbo to 5.1 will still result in the OS scheduler periodically picking that core to use, it clocking up to 5.1, and problems resulting.

Might be wrong, though.
so not generational - but somehow the societal memory and "right thing" has become diluted?

And wow, irony !
Mass Appropriation, Radical Remixing, and the Democratization of AI Art
I think part of the problem is rote memorization rather than learning concepts.

(Eg: maybe if someone learns about the context of a "task switcher" and "shortcut" they could be taught how to search for 'task switcher shortcut windows'.

Instead we train users to treat keyboard shortcuts like magical incantations. I don't think that does a service to users of any age.
You mention suburbia a lot. What do you think is different about life in suburbia compared to a city or rural area that makes life there any more isolating?
I would say Ian is really the only writer at anand i care to read from anymore. His articles always take time to come out compared to everyone else but they at least cover every thing he can think of to tell you about and are well researched
I spend a lot of time outdoors and while I partially agree with you it was the comment about birds and insects that piqued my interest and suggested that maybe what I read wasn't all there was. Because while larger animals may hide, insects and birds don't.
Seems like it does the drawing outside of React.

It takes a ref to a React rendered DOM element and then does its thing.
Open Task Manager or Intel Power Gadget (on Mac) and watch your CPU frequency - it already downclocks itself when it's not under load. Usually my 4770 is around 1.2Ghz idling, and I believe some motherboards let you set a minimum clock lower than that in the BIOS.
Wintel is something that could be taken down a notch, but it seems everything outside of the x86 family is even worse.

If I buy a Dell laptop or a Lenovo laptop, it will come with a bunch of useless junk installed that nobody in their right mind would ever want, like Lenovo's useless gigantic Wi-Fi icon in Windows (last observed by me in a T520). But not only can I uninstall all of that junk software, I am still running real Windows. And that means I can update it normally.

Compare that to an Android device. You get a phone from a company like Samsung and you cannot uninstall the Facebook app no matter what you do. You get a phone from HTC and maybe they decide to push an update from 7.something to 8.0 and 8.0 introduces a new issue. That is fixed in 8.1 but you can never actually upgrade to 8.1 because it's not the real version of Android it's the HTC version of Android and they have ordained that your device shall never go past 8.0 and they pushed some firmware "security" update that prevents you from installing any other OS on your device. Additionally, some software seems to be dictated by your mobile carrier, which would be like allowing Comcast to control what you run on your PC.

So whatever fragmentation there is on Wintel (or LinAmd), it is not nearly as hostile to the user as the Android ecosystem.
Yes, and the effect was tiny. See the caption in figure 2 for a summary:

Scores (percentage) for each story per group:
group A (n = 25 participants) reactivated mean (SEM) = 53.49 (2.29);
nonreactivated mean = 59.20 (2.60);
group B (n = 24 participants) reactivated mean = 59.52 (1.97);
nonreactivated mean = 61.19 (2.11).

That's 6.03% difference between the groups on reactivated means and 2% on the nonreactivated means. Each group was 25 people.

What's the predictive power of this? What's the explanatory power? What did we learn? That 25 people reacted a little differently than 25 other people on a test after the same drug was administered and some more time elapsed between the times when the two groups took the tests.

There's nothing to see here.

Edit: Btw, both groups received endoscopy and midazolam or phenylpiperidine derivatives- so not only the effect measured was small it was also not possible to clearly attribute it to propofol, rather than the endoscopy or the additional drugs administered.
It's not a non-sequitur if you follow his chain of logic, which is focused on improving outcomes, and not simply on expanding voting for its own sake:

1. Are voting rights missing? (Gather information)
2. If they are missing, would adding these specific rights improve the quality of voting?
3. If the answer is no, then the fact that certain rights are missing is less relevant.

You clearly disagree with him, because you see expanded access to the vote as a good in and of itself. That's a tenable position, but not everyone agrees with it (I certainly don't), and so it's good to see where others are coming from.

tldr; Some people think that more voting always = good, some people are more consequentialist.

My recommendation would be to check out CS50: https://www.edx.org/cs50
They are behind. I think they have a chance to catch up with their 7nm which is supposed to be better than TSMC 7nm. But it won’t be soon.
I work for a phone company, Community Phone, whose majority customers are seniors. We periodically check in with our customers over text message (helping make sure they achieve their goals, like using Uber, or whatever... which is our business: to enable an improvement in overall quality of life via phones, rather than phones in themselves). As a result, many of our customers FB message/call/email/text us as a sanity check any time they receive solicitation online. It's a service we happily provide, but it does require them to reach out to us, as opposed to us knowing when to intervene.
Other than that, I will be monitoring this thread very closely for more general and automated solutions. Thanks very much for asking this question.
Yup, because generally people are jack@sses.
Ask HN: Is there a platform I can look for friends?
Hi,
Long story short, I am looking for friends. I don’t have a sort of companionship in life with whom I can share my day to day, support them, be supported.
I have a girlfriend who is super busy in work and her own life, parent and siblings who are busy with thr life. Its difficult to find a friend there.

I am looking for a platform where I can find people somewhat similar to me or may be of types specified by them.

I am not looking to date or sexual relation but a simple friend..

whom i can rely on in future. A friend.

P.S. I work remotely for a company, I tried binding more with people I have worked with/known in past life but looks like its not working. It leads to loneliness sometimes affecting my professional and personal mind space.
The other point is that most Apple store apps become uninstallable on anything older than three iOS versions.
The hype was that you could take a huge pile of data and turn it into hugely valuable insights.

The realization is that any random pile of data likely doesn't have anything in it that is worth paying for:
Here's our analysis!
We already do/knew that.

Some people have really good, valuable data sets. Most people don't.
That’s ducking funny!
What percentage of the iPhone market can you reach by supporting only versions with >2% penetration? What percentage of the Android market?
I'm a "data scientist" and couldn't agree more. There are a lot of companies that benefit from hyping emerging tech and careers to a point of saturation, these include bootcamps, consulting firms and service providers. The market has calmed but I wouldn't say it was just hype (obviously I'm biased!)
Imagine what you could do with soldiers if you gave them this every night. I imagine it'd also work wonders on political dissidents: just keep interviewing and drugging them until they can't remember their anger.

This is a truly magnificent achievement for all mankind.
The way I think about current American corporate culture is that, yes, there are good _individuals_ at companies that legitimately want you to succeed and have you paid what you’re worth; but at the end of the day the needs of the company trumps all, and companies themselves are ruthless, inhuman, profit-seeking entities.
It’s an epistemology / ontology question, as folks familiar with the humanities would spot in little time. Aka it’s not “data” until something empowers the created metric a meaning.

The map is not the territory.

A Life of Crime
So, your point seems partly that rich people should stop pretending their poor. I agree.

But most of what you said is very problematic.

> then you are a beneficiary of inequality, not a victim of it, and you don’t have the right to whine about the billionaires hoarding all the wealth at your expense.

"Whining" about behavior that harms society is not a right we lose by engaging in that behavior. It's an obligation, and you can't get out of it by being rich.

But perhaps more relevantly, there's much be more to someone's well-being than their net worth. I'd be better off if crime were lower, if we had more scientists figuring out how to make my phone battery last longer (or curing cancers; pick your priority).

But instead, so many potential Einsteins had nutritional deficiencies as children? (Fun fact: the poorest 20% of kids had cognitive gains equivalent to a full standard deviation when given multivitamins[0]).

Maybe you make it past that. Cool, but oops, you have to drop out of high school so you can work to support their families. (I've personally known quite a few students who dropped out for precisely this reason.)

People with good education and a safety net, tend not to get addicted to drugs, or commit violent crimes, or break into homes, because they don't have to.

I want that for all people. That would not just improve their well-being. It would improve my well-being. Having a society of healthy, happy, smart, educated people with food and housing security would make my life better. People who are financially well-off need to "whine" about this shit until it's fixed.

There's plenty to worry about not leaking in solar too; nothing high-tech is truly clean, especially if you consider manufacturing.

Anyways, despite being near-synonymous with "renewable", I always understood "clean" in "clean energy" to mean "doesn't pollute the atmosphere". Nuclear doesn't pollute the atmosphere, so it qualifies. Even if you extend it to "doesn't pollute the environment", nuclear generally doesn't, as the little waste that's produced is stored as a part of the process - as opposed to waste products of traditional fossil fuel plants. Some new reactor designs allow you to further burn the waste, making it almost truly non-polluting in the general sense.

In all honesty, like many pro-nuclear people, I do emphasize calling nuclear "clean energy" on purpose, precisely to counter people like 'ThomPete upthread who lump together nuclear with fossil fuels. While still having some (and admittedly dangerous if mishandled) waste, in terms of cleanness, nuclear is really much much closer to solar & wind than it is to coal and gas - it is an ecological source, and grouping it together with fossil sources makes people dismiss one of the more effective ways at generating power in climate-protecting way.
My wife uses Shipt to order the groceries and in our neighborhood, anecdotally, most of the Shipt shoppers are suburban moms. We usually order our groceries about mid-day and they are delivered mid-afternoon. For a SAHM with kids in school this works out perfect as you can get a few hours of work in when you would otherwise be at home. Lots of women in my area (including my wife) are SAHMs.

Secondly I think moms are a good fit for Shipt shoppers. We had a lot of trouble in the beginning with shipt because the shoppers were young people not used to picking out produce and staples for a family. Over time I noticed more moms delivering our groceries and they seemed to get it right more often. Naturally they could guess what my wife wanted when substitutions were necessary or instructions were needed. They always ask first but sometimes you don't have time to text them back before they're done shopping. It's nice when they show up to the door and say "they didn't have ____, but I could see you're making chili, so I got you ____".
TSMC maintains chip supplies to Huawei
> . As cities regain their cultural clout, low-income African-American and Latino neighborhoods are often among the few where new housing is permitted, concentrating growth pressure and accelerating the process of gentrification.

This fact hit me like a ton of bricks. I had assumed that the reason all this new construction happens in gentrifying neighborhoods is because land is cheaper. But of course that can’t be the main reason. In Palo Alto, you can get a single family house with an 6,000-8,000 square foot lot for $2-3 million. With reasonable zoning you could put in a 6-8 story building with a 3,000-4,000 square foot footprint and 12-24 units. At the upper end, the land cost of each unit would be about $150,000. If construction costs $200 per square foot, that’s another $260,000 for a 1,300 square foot 3BR unit. Say half a million in costs for the whole unit. Already, you’re looking at land costs being a smaller part of the overall per-unit costs, and this is a relatively modest building (as you go higher, the per-unit land cost goes down). Going to a gentrifying neighborhood might save you on land costs, but at substantially greater risk. (Maybe the neighborhood won’t gentrify as fast as you expect, people will expect a discount to live in a gentrifying neighborhood, etc.)
I know what all those words mean, I've studied critical theory, and I have no idea what your point is.
Just because they have problems with computers and computer-mediated technology, doesn't mean they're dumb. Lots of wisdom there. But, unfortunately, most electronic means of communication are very poorly matched to how older people have interacted with others all their life. You can believe they are very smart, and also believe they need to interact with electronics/computers/internet resources in a different way than works for the sort of people who comment in HN.

Of course, it varies depending on the person. Most often, the most reliable way of determining if an older person is comfortable with computers is to ask them. Those that find it difficult to make good decisions about passwords/phishing emails/security updates/etc., are more than willing to admit that they aren't great with computers.
They forced density in Vancouver, Canada by billing property taxes on possible uses of land instead of actual uses. So if city council decided your land could actually be a 10 story condo, they would hand you a gigantic tax bill based on that condo tower rate in hopes you'd sell to developers. It turned the city into a judge dredd style dystopia of luxury condo towers but they achieved density.
I have no idea myself. Speculating, but at the top policy level, perhaps they did just that (why not?). At the field tech level, maybe they were photographing "just in case".

Also, I assume by disassembling racks, they were cataloging which equipment was used, and its configuration. It's akin to snooping a competitors shop to see their process, as much as their equipment.

Again, I'm foggy on details since I wasn't there, but these guys are not surprised by alleged IP theft and stories of incentivized theft after their experiences. I don't have the insight to think really hard about the motivations of the H techs, and this is just colloquial / anecdotal so don't expect yourself to be convinced.

TSMC starts EUV N7 process volume production, says CEO
That's also possible. That's why overclockers run Prime95 to test their CPU stability.

Also, a BSOD or panic in the wrong time can cause massive data loss. That's beyond bad sometimes.

Edit: I mixed Prime95 with SuperPi. Thanks AaronFriel.
Most of what we call “data science” is repackaged “data mining” — a skill that goes easily back to the mid-90s. Sure, open source tooling makes it all a lot more accessible today; but IBM / Oracle / etc. have offered similar packages (at MUCH higher price points, of course) for decades.

I think once the hype calmed down, people started to realize that it was largely the same old shit in a much cheaper package — evolutionary rather than revolutionary. Ultimately I think the hype cycle was driven by Moore’s Law more than anything; the fact you could run this type of analysis in a manageable amount of time without needing a huge IBM mainframe was the real innovation.
Okay, clearly you don't know what the real "Southern Strategy" was about. In many ways, the Civil Rights movement was the wake-up call that the South's entrenched elite had needed for a hundred years. It's no coincidence that the Civil Rights era was followed by a few intense decades (1970s and 1980s) of deep social and economic renewal; today, the South (and more generally, the Sun Belt!) is the most economically free area in the nation by far, including with respect to housing policies! To the extent that a Republican Southern strategy existed, it was playing to this, entirely novel side of Southern politics. The segregationist, pre-Civil Rights South was dead and still is dead, no matter how many white Democrats will try to sneakily revive it in the foreseeable future - that's why they mostly try those ploys elsewhere (like in CA and OR) by now. The South has had its grassroots Reconstruction, one hundred years past the original schedule. And it was Republicans who achieved it.

Really Cool, I have set up something similar for my family and is paying $20 every month for VPS, I have tried NextDNS and found it be really useful and considering the pricing structure which you mentioned in the comments, your product seems to be a far more affordable option. A few suggestions:

1) Consider launching an App for managing configurations or at least make the current web app a PWA

2) Allow users to create duplicate configurations

3) In the logs section of the analytics page, I saw that some blocked domains were being resolved, it was saying that the domains were manually whitelisted(they were not)

4) Allow adding custom hosts file sources

5) You can create a Windows/MacOS app for updating dynamic IP address(similar to the one provided by OpenDNS)

6) You can give a button to whitelist domains in the log section, just like the one provided by the PiHole in the Query page of its web UI

7) Allow adding multiple domains to whitelist & blacklist at once

8) Allow regex and wildcard blocking

9) Mobile UI is not 100% responsive
Windows phones did at least have UEFI + arm. You can unlock the bootloaders of many of them now. But there's still no driver support for mobile data and several other critical hardware components.
>But if either party in the debate isn't an expert, then appealing to authority is the rational thing to do.

It might be the "rational thing to do" but it's not a logical argument -- which is what makes it a fallacy.

Fallacies can often be the logical thing to do. E.g. an "Ad Hominem Fallacy" might save your ass when the other person puts forward a perfectly logical argument, but to serve their own selfish reasons to your detriment. An "Appeal to hypocrisy" can serve to highlight when the person you debate with wants you to stop doing something (because eg. they say its bad) but keeps for themselves the benefits of keeping doing to (and thus gets the upper hand on you). And so on.

Still, like those things "Appeal to authority" is not a logical proof based on the content under discussion (and axioms, logical steps etc), but a "because X says so" on the status of person X (eg. their expertise).

That's what makes it a fallacy. Whether what that person says is true or not, or even whether it's more likely true than not, is irrelevant.

In either case, it's not a logical proof (in the formal sense) nor a definite proof (the person with the expertise could for example be lying to further their interests, or mislead for some other reason).
