Sure. I am aware of some other products with similar premises that are based in other programming languages. I will drop you an e-mail.
Similar to how many big names change standards: if you take a look at the instruction sets used, the Apple A13 processors seem to implement a newer instruction set than even what Qualcomm is using.

A13 Bionic uses ARMv8.3-A.
Qualcomm 865 (which is newer than A13) uses ARMv8.2-A.

My guess is they influenced the spec to add feature deltas from v8.2->8.3 into the spec. Sure, it's not non-standard, but it seems like most vendors pick and choose what instructions to implement from each ARM spec.

What that means is the compiler for each processor needs to effectively be specific to that processor. If it's not, you might not be totally optimized.
Curious why you say 18 months at the earliest for a vaccine. Is this a standard vaccine timeline? Are we guaranteed to be able to make a vaccine for this virus? I am not at all educated on how vaccines are developed.
Compare that to Alexander the Great, who adopted so much foreign practices that his people started to hate him
Plenty of serious researchers in top universities are studying the intersection of mathematics and functional programming, and I don't think that they're somehow not 'real mathematicians'.

Here's a paper by the author of this post, formalising a popular Haskell pattern in category theory: https://arxiv.org/abs/2001.07488

EDIT: switched to non-PDF link.
I think that's a naive statement, and it's also not really relevant to the original point being made, which is that existing mathematical notation can be difficult to grok.

Inventing new notation does not help with existing material - and that material is what makes mathematicians. People who can put up with old notation, especially if it is bad, are much more likely to become mathematicians: that gives a survivorship bias.

Besides which, you are welcome to invent your own notation, but good luck trying to get anyone to adopt it, particularly if the mathematical field involved is studied enough. Inertia is very strong, even in very abstract disciplines - aren't physicists still treating current as flowing the wrong direction?
> An app that matches people, gets feedback on dates, and then if they couple up, gets regular feedback on how they are in relationship / during a break up. Then that score comes with them back into the dating app.

What incentive does anyone have to keep using the service to provide such "feedback" if they find their match, leaving aside the creepiness factor of a service asking for such information? (And please, don't create such an incentive.) If they find their way back into the service, then (ignoring relatively rare cases) something didn't work out.
"Huge compute bills" usually come from training, or to be more precise, hyperparameter search that's required before you find a model that works well. You could also fail to find such a model, but that's another discussion.

So yeah, you could spend one or two FTE salaries' (or one deep learning PhD's) worth of cash on finding such models for your startup if you insist on helping Jeff Bezos to wipe his tears with crisp hundred dollar bills. That's if you know what you're doing of course. Literally unlimited amounts could be spent if you don't. Or you could do the same for a fraction of the cost by stuffing a rack in your office with consumer grade 2080ti's. Just don't call it a "datacenter" or NVIDIA will have a stroke. Is that too much money? Not in most typical cases, I'd think. If the competitive advantage of what you're doing with DL does not offset the cost of 2 meatspace FTEs, you're doing it wrong.

That, once again, assumes that you know what you're doing, and aren't doing deep learning for the sake of deep learning.

Also, if your startup is venture funded, AWS will give you $100K in credit, hoping that you waste it by misconfiguring your instances and not paying attention to their extremely opaque billing (which is what most of their startup customers proceed to doing pretty much straight away). If you do not make these mistakes, that $100K will last for some time, after which you could build out the aforementioned rack full of 2080ti's on prem.
The gay community has flawlessly foreshadowed the culture of the general populace for hundreds of years. People ignore this for stupid ideological/emotional reasons. If you want to see what the future Tinder looks like, look at Grindr today.
Genomic epidemiology of novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2)
I sometimes contribute to methodology projects in neuroscience ("AI" for scientists). The most tiring part of it is explaining essentially these things over and over. Very interesting to see the sentiment vindicated in Startupistan.
The parent did not say that Tinder created this, only patented it.
The article did say that it as a straight male he was not going to talk about LTBTQ+ apps.

That being said, Grindr by its very nature removes the balance issue in this particular sense. But Grindr is also a "dating" app by App Store description alone and is really not its primary use.

Have I had dates off of Grindr? Yes... But they are the exception. So looking at Grindr as a fix is not the way to go, it was very clearly not designed with that in mind (If when I talk to any of my straight male friends about Grindr is any indication)

That and... Grindr has its own major issues fueled by how its designed to be very much not a dating app.
From female profiles, and speaking with my friends, it seems that no one is happy with online dating apps.

> dating apps have created an environment where women are hyper-selective and where men are hyper-indiscriminate.

I believe this is the key point, and ironic because it's viscous cycle.

This behavior encourages worse behavior that is counter intuitive to the goal of it's users.

The entire premise is flawed from the start, as a dating profile starts with a snap judgement based on pictures, a biography, and key details--such as height, job, education.

At this point, the competition for dates using an app is so high, and the experience is so mediocre, that I am better off spending my effort meeting women in real life.
This has come up before, I think I'll revise having that pop up so early on.

Appreciate the feedback :)
I don't know... I'm absolutely nowhere near the top 10% of male attractiveness, but I've had good luck getting dates on dating sites. From talking with many women about their experience on such sites, I think that attractiveness is far less important than behavior -- the vast majority of men that women hear from, it seems, are very poorly behaved.
Where's Java Going in 2020
On the other hand some of the startup is doing absolutely fraud on the name of AI.I went to a self checkout store (AIFI.io). I did not touch anything but they charge me $35.10. According to the receipt I took 17 packs of snacks :) These guys are doing fraud on the name of AI. They have no technology no software just put up some camera and open a store so that they can defraud the investor. Anyone can try if intersted https://www.aifi.io/loop-case-study
AI on the algo side is only half the story -- it has to sit in a domain specific framework to be most effective

I see a lot of 'bolt-on' tech emerging -- it looks mostly snake oil -- there is no obvious way to be competitive against teams that baked it in to the bare metal design

Also most commercial use-cases I've seen need effective ML more than anything else
I can see that being true. Many of the web sites I build are multi-lingual, and when designing for many languages, you have to take into consideration that certain languages take many more characters or words to express an idea than in English.

Off the top of my head, I believe we factor in 15% more text space for Spanish. German is something like 60% more.
> The interviewer's data point is certainly valid, but it's not clear to me how much you can generalize it.

The fact that someone in the interview chain is willing to tell you significant negative information dramatically raises the Bayesian prior.

An interview chain is normally extremely well vetted for people who are positive-only. The fact that this failed is a dramatic cause for concern.
Both when dating and when buying used cars, I require an intermediary to introduce me, as otherwise I am not willing to trust in the owner/person directly. My safety is paramount and requiring a 'middleman' drastically reduces the chances of malicious behavior by the owner/person.
Intuit to acquire Credit Karma for $7.1B
Although not DNS related, I have had weird things happen on AWS, such as spikes of 5xx errors reported from CloudFront which was backed by ELB/EB, but the ELB is showing no errors. Even after contacting AWS support they couldn't resolve it, said they required application logs, but there is no logs because the requests never reached the application servers.
What I don't understand, why are actual tests for the virus being done so reluctantly?

I'm german and followed the media coverage and initial panic a few weeks ago when the first case appeared in germany. There was a rush of people who wanted to get themselves tested - but got turned down with the info that only persons who are already suspect (show symptoms AND just got back from china) were eligible for testing.

Now we're realizing that infection paths cannot be tracked anymore and there is very likely a huge number of unknown infected persons.

If you got a virus that is both asymptomatic and infectious for 14 days, wouldn't you want to test as many people you can, as early as possible?
We've squeezed another s above.
Do you mind providing a summary for those following this thread?
Show HN: Real Time Photographic Mosaics for iOS
I use Eucalyptus bedsheets and think they're great. Sheets & Giggles brand personally.
"HN readers" aren't a person. They're a large population sample that is divided on divisive issues the same way any other large population sample is.
Minor nit: If day 7 is when they are admitted, then day 17 is not when they are released. Day 24 is.
Thank you for your reply.

> civilisations doing questionable things, therefore the idea of doing things "for the good of civilisation" being something of a fallacy

Ah, I should clarify (although while you are not wrong, this was indeed part of the point), it was mostly a reference to "pay the membership club" - that taxes, the "membership fee" for civilization was used to do uncivilized things.

> The BBC has 81%

I certainly was not aware that BBC had such reach. I guess it has to do with the people that I associate with. It was indeed incorrect to say "the few" then.

> do you yourself live in the UK?

I lived in the UK for 5 years (until last year).
We've talked with some image data providers who are creating datasets for use in machine learning. We're not running any of our own models on image data right now, so I think the place we can be most useful is in summarizing metadata about the images in cases where the dataset isn't just an image file. For example, if the dataset is images of intersections plus bounding box coordinates of street signs we can tell a prospective consumer what % of images have a street sign in them. If you have a little more metadata (e.g., what time of day the photo is) the stats get much more useful out of the box.

I don't understand the data labeling question. How would you imagine us getting involved there?
Is it? Because there is normally things like JSX, React Router, Redux and a lot of other stuff that you have to learn with it to build an application.

I've seen fairly decent backend developers having a right mare trying to get their head around just the npm tooling (no it isn't obvious if you haven't worked with it before).

People don't realise that there is a lot of the eco-system you have to learn just to do something fairly basic. You also have to unlearn things that you've done before elsewhere which itself can be difficult.

So I find this hard to believe.

Anyway this is going down the road of "why don't you use this it is easy?" which isn't the point I was originally making. I personally getting fed up of all the bloody tooling you have to learn to make something basic, when I can just ignore it and go back to basics.
> The vast majority are delivering wet. messy business logic under tight constraints, ambiguously defined criteria, and rapidly changing organizational requirements.

And herein lies the fundamental reason why most large aggregations of business software that I've seen in the wild are only strongly typed at about the same scale as the one on which the universe actually agrees with Deepak Chopra. Beyond that, it's all text.

It doesn't have to be full-blown Unix style the-howling-madness-of-Zalgo-is-held-back-by-sed-but-only-barely; it can be CSV or JSON or XML or whatever. And a lot of it's really just random magic strings. But it's still all stringly typed at human scales.
I would argue that Haskell lets you respond to nebulous requirements better than almost any other language, because refactoring is so much easier and safer.

I self identify much more with being pragmatic and goal-oriented than math-y and perfectionist, and I think for almost every programming domain we'd achieve our goals faster by moving more towards having strong static guarantees in an ergonomic, expressive language.

Finally, I would also put forth that debugging state corruption or randomly failing assertions is much harder than learning to avoid side-effects and leaning into immutability.
I'd rather see Wikipedia find a way to link these different sites in more interesting ways, for example if I go to the entry for Carnival (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnival), why doesn't it link me to the Brazilian (https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnaval), Spanish (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnaval) or Italian (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnevale) entries for which I might learn more, using auto-translate?
> It would be nice for English to no longer be practically required for people to become computer literate.

That's already case in other mission critical industries, like aviation. Hard to build businesses with cross-border collaboration without using English. (This is also how I learned English in the first place, it was a good motivator!)
I think rather than "lemons" dating apps have a very low signal to noise ratio.

Which isn't necessarily due to "players", violent men, etc.
A thread about the original article, from a few days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22352750
Isn't that what any community does? If you know two people who might be a good match, then you might suggest it. It happened in college, at work, at temples, etc.
I think it's pretty common advice that anything domain-related needs to be a different email. I've heard that, and I've only ever admin'd my personal domain. For exactly that reason I registered for Cloudflare with a gmail account.
I really really don't think that's going to work...

Women have enough issues being harassed on the dating apps as it is...

Grindr conversations are very... forward (and would be seen as harassment by most Woman I have chat with about Grindr)

In reality the only reason the Grindr way "works" is because there is no societal power difference between everyone on it vs a hetero focused dating app.
That sounds like a dating service selecting for the market that best benefits the dating service: people most likely to keep using the service rather than stop when they find someone.
> Monoculture and groupthink can act as defacto censorship.

So-called "censorship" on the level of a forum like HN is of laughable unimportance. That pales in comparison to the kind of censorship the Chinese government practices. (And no, it's not a "slippery slope", or any other hand-wavy argument you can make about similarities.)

> We are finally seeing some stories about COVID-19 break through to the front page and get some interesting discussion - it's taken over a month.

Perhaps for the most part hackers don't find it interesting, at least not in this forum. I've been reading about it elsewhere, and have been happy with the coverage I've been getting. I'm certainly not going to downvote/flag an article about it on HN, but frankly I don't come here for that. (Heh, and yet, here I am, reading comments and even posting.)

> If anything, the HN response to this event has demonstrated to me that uninformed, smug, back-of-the-napkin takes from computer programmers on domains totally outside of their experience will be richly rewarded on this site.

That's hardly unique to this type of article, or any article, really. People often have uninformed opinions about things outside their area of expertise, and aren't shy about expressing them. I see no more (or less) of that here than I do in most other HN comment threads.

And regardless, who are you to say? Are you a doctor, or, better, an epidemiologist? Are you an expert political scientist? Have you deeply studied this history of authoritarian regimes vs. democracies? Your opinion that all this is just "back-of-the-napkin takes" is no more (or less!) valid than the takes you criticize. And you're the one throwing around accusations of smugness!
The GIFs are the best part
> Washington, DC

DC-NoVA area is known for having a surplus of women relative to men.

Basically, every dating mechanism works for men in that area.

This, of course, points out that it's simply the availability ratio that changes the behavior of women.
My bad, I meant "at the same price as VCs". You are correct that's not what fair market value means.
That is because they have a backend service. The revenue is generated through the backend service, not the js client.
Yes. In the end, we need one common language so that we can communicate with people around the globe, and that's not only about computers, but everything.
On one hand, everyone who cares about the newest smallest nodes either has their own fab (Samsung, Intel), or uses TSMC. Like AMD and Nvidia share TSMC, and they are far from buddy/buddy.

On the other though, AMD legitimately does have fairly close ties to Apple. Jim Keller has bounced around a lot, but Apple and AMD is where he started new major uarchs. And Hugon Dhyana, and the game consoles show that AMD is more than willing to work with high volume OEMs to have semi custom designs, particularly to empower their security architectures. Yes, Intel includes custom logic for security, but not to the same degree as AMD. I think Intel includes all of their customer's custom logic on most of the masks, but fuses or otherwise hides the functionality; AMD goes hog wild with custom masks.

You've given me a bunch to think about, thanks! I hadn't really considered AMD here.
Dude, you need better SEO. I heard about your product last year and didn't bookmark it. I was trying to find it on google with no luck. (talking about prerender)

Also what does https://www.roast.io/ do better than netlify. I think you should highlight it on your homepage. Thats your main competitor as far as I see it.
This article purports to be talking about math but then goes off down some insular functional programming rabbit hole.

For what it's worth, I can easily accept that Haskell programmers' career prospects will not be altered one whit by improvements in optimisation and automation...

P.S. Haskell is not math: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1017/S0956796808007004 https://www.cs.hmc.edu/~oneill/papers/Sieve-JFP.pdf
The scariest part about experiences like this is the time wasted and the time spent under tension.

I normally can solve algorithmic puzzles pretty well without studying much, and I'd be pretty fine with a weekend of studying.

But it sounds like a nightmare being strung along for months before being subjected to 5 rounds of 1 hour of being under scrutiny from another person.

I don't know about you, but I as a 'techie in the east-west' have a bunch of people who ask me or follow my choices wrt tech stuff.

I might recommend Signal to them if they specifically ask for something encrypted, but if they just follow what I use they'll see no Signal.

Article says he had no living relatives, so Darwin Award for sure.
(op here). To be fair to Cloudflare a business with millions on the line should be paying a lot more money to Cloudflare than I, a college student with significantly less on the line, would. If I had the option to pay $1,000 right now and get everything back up instantly I wouldn't take it because it isn't worth that much to me.
Since Heathrow is to the West of the centre, you go westbound to get to it, from the centre.
Visualizing Elliptic-Curve Diffie–Hellman
DC is a great place (for heterosexual men) to find dates - I found the ability to get dates via apps to be highly variable depending on the city (maybe M/F ratio, but probably a bunch of factors).

If you want to see this for yourself just change your city in the apps from SF to NYC or DC and swipe. It's pretty obvious and dramatic.
The release of JavaScript was deeply confusing to me as a developer back then. Java applets and Macromedia Flash were already touted by their vendors as the one true way forward for interactivity. The scripting language released at about the same time seemed like an oddball.

It's easy to forget, but for years after its introduction JavaScript didn't work well. It was extremely slow, limiting the complexity of what could be built with it. There were problems galore with cross-browser compatibility of what was written. There was no reliable vector graphics or canvas system, so you really couldn't do much graphically. The DOM interface was hard to understand to be charitable. It didn't run outside of the browser, so how dare you call yourself a developer if you were using it?

To the extent that developers knew JavaScript existed at all, it was not considered a programming language.

These things started to change in the early 2000. So deeply ingrained with the disgust for JavaScript, that it took a very long time for the consensus to emerge that you could actually build very complex software on a post-V8 runtime.
> and pedophiles

Is that a reference to 8chan? Because if so I am pretty sure that they removed controversial boards of this form a few years back - long before cloudflare banned them.
How would you explain the rise (and success) of machine learning in science? A lab that uses some learning-based method will likely be limited to just one or two people (responsible for data acquisition, feature engineering, evaluation, etc.) and extremely finite data.
This is definitely an accurate description of the past, but is it the future? I’m really interested in what happens when we start to see (more) companies organized around software...
That sad. In the end, all this would (if not already) make then just go for the English version. I already do this (I'm Brazilian) as the Portuguese version is nowhere near the international (English) version in terms of completeness and being up-to-date.

BTW, do you have a link for their terms on "relevance"?
The manual data upload is restricted to well-formed CSV files w/ headers on the first row right now. For the "contact us" higher tier we'll handle any file format that we can extract columns from, so parquet would be fine.
No need to look at AZ for this. If you're building "AI" I wish you a speedy road to being acquired by a company that can put it to use. You've become a high priced recruiting firm.

If you're solving a real problem and use ML in service of solving that problem, then you've got a great moat....happy trusting customers.

It's not complicated
What do you mean by highly paid locals? With the exception of the Silicon Valley or NYC bubble, developers in big cities in developed countries are approaching US and European salaries and they are increasing quickly.

Well, truth be told they're already surpassed us. If you want cheaper, you might as well go to Spain or Italy or even France.
