You might do better with a modular system. A single port on the display, a separate box that handles rapid switching and HDCP. HDMI switch boxes exist, but they seem to forward HDCP responsibility to the display, so switching is still slow. A broadcast quality switch/crossfade box would rock.

Absolutely.

I'm only saying in relation to the idea of "reading Haskell code", it is possible to understand how they work (at the shallowest level) by analogy to `forEach` and to shell syntax.

Shell syntax also doesn't explain important constructs like currying, partial application, etc. But it's good enough that someone can read "boring" haskell code without being intimidated and turned off.

OBS can capture wlroots based compositors with the wlrobs[0] plugin. Give it a shot, it's really smooth for me. There's also wl-recorder[1] which is much more light weight if you don't need any of the fancier features. Also, cyanreg is working on txproto[2] which is a much faster/feature rich version of wl-recorder, although I'm not sure it is ready for prime time as it uses a couple bleeding edge libs.

* They're not going to buy it for the most part. They just like saying "I would buy it". Ultimately, price will determine almost all. You can see this when the already committed market for open source phones just didn't materialize when the device arrived. Turns out when people say "I want an OSS phone" they mean "I want a phone that is exactly like this top of the line phone but the software should all be OSS and it should not be a penny more expensive". In this case, you can judge by the fact that these already exist and when people say "significantly more" they mean "5% more" because they don't actually buy the thing.

* You can't compete on price because the TV guys are selling access to the data they collect for ad targeting / attribution.

I don't think this counts as "network effect" - I believe that that term applies to situations where the value of the service increases with the (square of?) the number of users. Here, you don't get better insurance as people sign up (at least not directly because people are signing up). I think this is just normal word-of-mouth marketing.
Do you honestly cook eggs without butter or at least some type of fat?

My carbon steel will stick certain things if I throw them in when the pan’s not fully heated and completely dry, so I concede that point to you. I don’t cook like this though and It’s not really a recommended cooking style in general to start with a cold pan and no fat.

Woks are carbon steel and have eggs cooked on them all the time commercially for fried rice and such.
"Unfortunate" how?

Unfortunate because it's professional jealousy, likely to hold back the field? Or unfortunate because it's likely true?

In the technical report (https://scnakandala.github.io/papers/TR_2020_Hummingbird.pdf) table 8 we compared against NVIDIA FIL library. From their blogpost (https://medium.com/rapids-ai/rapids-forest-inference-library...) they claim to be faster than the original XGB\LGBM GPU implementation, so we decided to pick FIL as GPU baseline.

Regarding the GEMM strategy: you are right, it only works for shallow trees. In Figure 7 we compared GEMM against the other strategies implementing typical tree traversal.

At some point we had an implementation using sparse GEMM, but only for sparse input feature vectors.
Salvia seems wildly...boring. Especially the physical effects.

As a fairly happy user, it's not clear to me how Lemonade solves these problems and ultimately ends up making money by trimming margins.

They still market heavily, and I presume they paid well for their (pretty good) branding.

When I applied there was a wait between applying and having coverage: an amount of time I suspect correlated to a human having to review materials.

My local market has weird insurance regulation, so I had to reach out for customer-service to ensure coverage which wasn't explicitly in the policy. The regulation and compliance department of any insurance company is likely rather large and expensive and rather difficult or risky to offload to AI.

I haven't had to make a claim, but I get the strong opinion that automated claim approvals are basically a function of claim amount and claim history. Anything over $X or for your Nth claim still involves a human at least as a gatekeeper. The AI may be real, but it seems strongly like the usual "fake it till you make it" AI that lots of companies claim to have but are actually 'mechanical turks'.

I'd like to put some ads on a personal site of mine, there are some lessons I've made and I think some amazon affiliate links for relevant products would be nice. I don't really want to maintain a list of products, or try to figure out what products are the best right now, or any of that.

I'm imagining something like older google ads, something that occasionally looks at my website, extracts keywords from the text, and generates ads based the actual content. Not based on some shadowy profile of my users.

Ideally I'd just run ads like you used to do before all this ad-tech crap started to get so aggressive.

Do you still believe that "you can't be racist towards white people" is a mantra? Or do you accept that perhaps the issue is one of differing definitions?

I don't understand what "the other way around" means. What's an example of something which is racist but not racial discrimination? [1]

If you instead see them as synonyms, why not personally use "racial discrimination" knowing that it's the definition with less diversity in interpretation?

FWIW, US law doesn't seem to use the term "racist" or "racism" but does use the terms "discrimination on the basis of race" and "racial discrimination", which I interpret as meaning that those terms are more well defined.

[1] Here's my thought experiment. The US Constitution requires that racial discrimination be allowed in some circumstances, such as private clubs. I find that I prefer to say that the Constitution allows some racial discrimination, rather than saying that the Constitution allows some racism. Which makes me think that "racism" is an emotionally stronger and more specific term than "racial discrimination."

I’m in France and I’ve lived here for 30 years. What you’ve written is correct.

However here’s the reality: If your employer dislikes you, they can fire you for some false reason. You then take it to court and you win. You will be awarded some amount, and there’s now a legally defined cap on that amount, which the employer knows before they fire you. The amount is roughly one month’s salary for each year worked at the company. And you don’t get your job back.

Of course not all employers use this strategy for various reasons, but it exists as a possibility, so it has to be taken into account when planning what response is in your best interest.

I think the only (grammatical) passive in there could be "the book was misbegotten", if it were the passive of active "Russo misbegot the book" (with Russo being the only possible subject, as you convincingly argue). However, the verb "misbeget" doesn't seem to exist anymore [1] - what remains is the old participle as an adjective, and as such the fragment is just a good old active sentence, like "the car was red".

But we're now sort of off-topic, methinks.

This isn't someone taking acid in a phish parking lot, there are now real clinical trials on a couple different drugs that were vilified by drug war propaganda that are now known to have substantial clinical potential.

Show HN: Example Data Service – Lorem Ipsum back ends by @Draftbit (W18)
Hey there HN!

We've created an easy way for you to get started building your next app or no-code project without needing to build the backend first. With over 30 different tables of data, you can use these tables as a great starting point during the design, development, and prototyping phase of building your next app.

Check it out at: https://example-data.draftbit.com/

Here are some of the types of apps the data might help you build:

- Stock Trading or Crypto Trading

- Dating Apps

- Restaurant Guides or Local Guides

- Addressbooks, Contact Lists, or Team Directories

- News or Article focused apps

- Todo Lists or Productivity

- Ecommerce / Shopping Apps

- Music or Podcast Apps

- Cars or Enthusiasts Apps

- Social Apps

- Books or Personal Reading List Apps

Many of the tables are linked together with one-to-many or many-to-many relationships and can be queried and interacted with just like a real REST api. So for example, Stocks and Stock Holdings are linked by Users.

You can interact with all of this data in a normal way: via API that outputs JSON. You can do any HTTP method on these APIs, like GET or POST, but you can also filter, sort, slice, or paginate the data via URL parameters, just like you would with data from a real REST api.

When you start building with real (or at least real-looking) data, you make better design and development choices along the way. You can use this service as a set of example API's for testing your front end development efforts, for building apps in your favorite no-code tool (like @draftbit), or if you just need some example JSON of a certain type.

The service is free and does not require any auth or api keys. We'll be adding more data and examples over time! The data used for this service was created or gathered from creative commons and open source sources. Some of it is real data released for machine learning purposes.

Thanks!

Your job sounds interesting, would you be interested in chatting about it?
This is all solid advice, I would probably add though that in your 20s you might want to set a time limit of a year and half to any one job, as soon as things get comfortable you should be looking for something new.

I had a lot of different jobs in my 20s and they all helped me become a better engineer, if I had stayed at one of the first ones (which was probably the most fun I had at work) then I wouldn't be where I am now..

Alt; land a gig at a consultancy or something doing some presales engineering stuff, you'll do an insane amount of weird things there for lots of different clients but have the security of a longer term position I guess.

> I imagine windows 10 would have similar problems there.

Microsoft allows resellers to use “supported by windows” marketing material on their hardware they sell only if they pass a stringent set of automated tests.

Relative to the general audience.

Ideally, whether or not something makes it to the front page should depend on whether the readers of HN think it's interesting.

However, the current (sub-optimal IMO) situation is that as long as it meets some pretty low bar for "interesting", it depends MUCH more on the submitter's friend network than the readers.
It depends a ton on what distro you are using. Some distros that now ship with wayland native desktops have tons of downstream patching to smooth out the experience. If you run Arch for instance, the default Chromium package is not ozone, and will run with XWayland (although chromium-ozone is available in the AUR). It's possible your distro is doing something differently.
This comes up from time to time. Here is a Twitter thread with some more links about the various usages of "shard" in the context of early internet and gaming services, including Ultima Online (UO), other early MMORPGs, and even MUDs.

I’d like to push back a bit on “work for a startup in your 20s.”

Sure, if you want to work at a startup, I would say early career is the best time to do so. Best case scenario, you learn a lot, your company has a successful exit, and you make some decent cash.

The other side of the coin is that for every well run startup where you can learn a lot, there are a bunch that are terrible, where you won’t learn as much, your stock options won’t ever be worth anything, you’ll be overworked, and you’ll overall end up behind where you would have been starting at a more established company.

My experience has been mostly the latter, so I’m a little biased here, but it seems like the default HN bias leans the other way, so I’m trying to counterbalance that. Yes, I did learn from my couple of startup tours, but I’m not sure if I became a better engineer as a result of working at those places. IMO, my time at larger, public companies has been more valuable to me in career terms.
Thing is, it’s still pretty good...so
I'm tangentially involved in the insurance space and I believe Lemonade is trying to use machine learning to process claims because:

- Processing claims with humans is expensive; every step that can be accomplished by a computer will probably be cheaper.

- A claim processed via ML will probably be handled fast. A fast response = happy customer, which helps with retention. This is a big one.

- A claim that is processed and closed quickly is harder to amend. Some customers slowly realize that adding items to a claim is free money. Others (legitimately) forgot items and want to add them. A quick claim is usually cheaper than one that might take a few days (or weeks) to process.

- Younger generations are more used to working with a web pages and will likely look at humans (e.g. agents) as old-fashioned.

The big carriers are both scared and dubious of Lemonade. If Lemonade can somehow make it work they could do serious damage to the carriers. But it's hard to see how they'll make the numbers work, as their current losses show. Most of the carriers are trying to implement something similar (which is where I'm slightly involved).
