skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
I use xarray ever day. It's great for my workflows, which involve multidimensional datasets (typically scalar or vector fields evaluated or measured on 1D,2D,or 3D grids, sometimes including both Cartesian and polar or more exotic coordinates). I can read in an HDF5 file from a simulation & instantly make plots that automatically have meaningful axis labels. It saves me a ton of boilerplate.

There are some gotchas with the HDF5 reader trying to infer dimension relationships that aren't specified in files. Sometimes merging datasets can wrong: if a 'join' is supposed to take place along a dimension whose values are floats, the result will be empty even if there is machine-epsilon offset between the two versions of the same dimension. Or,you can get an 'outer product' by accident and crash the interpreter by trying to allocate too much memory.

It comes from killing the offline retail (this is technological shift, so it might not be a good idea to stop it) and being both a marketplace and a player in that marketplace. Coupling with a highly profitable AWS so they can undercut the remains of competition does not help.
Decline of American retail produced orders of magnitude more “losers” than switch from coal to natural gas which grabbed so much attention.
I agree with you. Some fundamentals don’t shift dramatically. A condo in Pac Heights or Marina or downtown Palo Alto will continue to hold value compared to a SOMA condo
I see this zillow report inline with what I am seeing in and around DC area. Especially Suburban. Prices are soaring for both new and old homes. Given the mortgage rates are record low, prices are going up. It is definitely seller's market.

Based on current information I can find the Blacksky satellites are 56kg each.

https://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sdat/blacksky-global.htm

On the last Starlink launch, they launched 58 starlink satellites and 2 blacksky. The 'regular' starlink launches with re-use of the first stage have capacity for 60 satellites.

Does anyone want to guess at the dollar per kilogram price the Blacksky company paid to launch the most recent two?

very bad theoretical calculation: if a 60-satellite starlink launch, re-using an already flown first stage booster and assuming successful landing and re-use of the booster costs $5 million, that's about $83,333 per satellite. Meaning that the raw launch cost for those two satellites might have been slightly under $200k?

I imagine the $/kg also includes a lot of the cost of the time and engineering work for the spacex payload team to design and machine the payload adapter/release mechanism. Also whatever electrical command and control/DC power bus might be built in to feed power to satellites after the fairing/encapsulation is done while awaiting launch.

As for if and when a "one click" commercial launch for small satellites will become a thing, I'm not so sure. Unless a satellite has no thrusters and no maneuvering/stationkeeping propellant on it, they're inherently dangerous when fully fueled and imminently awaiting launch.

This requires custom engineering and interface work on the part of the satellite manufacturer, satellite operator, and launch service operator. There is no single standard physical interface I'm aware of for attaching a satellite (larger than cubesat size) to a payload adapter, while ensuring inherently safe behavior of the satellite, for the protection of ground crews.
You realize that Amazon stole market share from all kinds of other retailers, right?

Also, you're completely misinterpreting the metaphor to suit your own goals. Wealth redistribution demonstrably benefits society as a whole when said society has as many fundamental issues as the US does when it comes to basic standard of living (healthcare, education, living wage, etc.). You're making the exact same argument as people who think income tax shouldn't exist because taking some portion of income away from high earners magically makes them want to earn less. This is, of course, also demonstrably false and completely irrational.
It’s funny because barely any houses in Somerville are up to code. It’s like less than 5%. So the regulations have achieved a double nothing.
> my instinct is that NYC probably generates more millionaires than it acquires. You can move to the city straight out of college and become a millionaire in relatively short order if you land the right job;

I guess it depends on how you count. I see most those people who would have been millionaires anywhere they moved to (e.g. top 10% Harvard law grad).

Will they make better money in NYC than probably anywhere else in the US? Probably. Are there more high paying law and finance jobs in NYC than anywhere in the US (with the possible exception of DC)? Probably.

But as many people are fond of pointing out, that doesn't really consider labor's role in this. NYC has jobs, but it needs talented people. There are plenty of talented people who are born and grow up in NYC, but there aren't nearly enough to fill the high salary jobs that open every year.
>locks are about keeping honest citizens honest

I've heard that, and I get it, but I don't think that's actually it. Locks are about making it too inconvenient or risky to be worth stealing or breaking into. I guess some people might just all the sudden steal something if given the chance but would never do so otherwise, but usually, it's people who are already willing to steal if the difficulty and stakes are low enough.

Not obsolete yet, the technology is not mature enough, and the previous arguments against WSI are still valid.

People have been trying Wafer-Scale Integration [0] since the 1970s, there was quite some hype of building a "super chip" back at that time [1], but all efforts failed miserably. Cerebras' success is only the beginning, even if this approach is workable (which remains a question), there's still at least a decade to go from a HPC-specific chip to a general-purpose chip. Another possibility is that WSI will forever be a technology used in massively-parallel computers.

It's been a while since I've used Java and it seems weird to me to see instanceof used to check values instead of types. That sounds a lot like instance of being used instead of .equals(). Why not?

if (r.equals(new Rectangle(Point(0, 0), Point(1, 1)) s) {
s.doStuff();
}

Are they really planning to use instanceof to check for equality?

Are non-American locks better? Why would American locks be worse?
Not really, the economics are just better for the platform with vendor lock-in. They'd still recoup their costs via their store, which they can gift powerful advantages like making it default, having it be more integrated in various ways, etc. It would likely end up as a power-law distribution of store usage with the platform owner on top, so platforms would still make their profits. Having an option for another store wouldn't be the end of anything, and would improve consumer agency significantly.

I was expecting Facebook to sell off their VR operations, since they're not scaling up much. Zuckerberg says he's not interested in any business with less than a billion users. Facebook Spaces was a bust. Facebook Horizon didn't even launch. John Carmack went off to work on AI.

If anything, Facebook's VR effort is just there in case someone else comes up with a VR or AR threat to Facebook.
As I said - assets are routinely called "spies" in colloquial use and in the media, as is evident even in the story that this post links to, as well as countless other media references.

> A case office is not an handler, a field officer is, a case office is an analyst.

This is incorrect, as is evident by a basic google search. An analyst is -- surprise -- called an analyst.

> There is no such thing as a paramilitary officer, their are field officers

This is also completely incorrect. CIA SAC/SAD operatives are called paramilitary officers. The official CIA designation is Paramilitary Operations Officer.

> The exasperated/condescending tone of your comment is really inappropriate, given the number of specious and economically fallacious arguments contained in it.

Your own comment is considerably more condescending. As for speciousness...

> There's a negative correlation between government spending levels as a percentage of GDP, and economic growth rates. Your implication, that society is better off with high levels of taxation, is not supported by the science on the matter.

That correlation is disputed, to say the least. Even if it weren't, economic growth rates, while important, are not the be-all and end-all of society being "better", especially when a large amount of the wealth is concentrated in a few hands.

>>Fourth, this effectively ignores that wealth is a thing that grows and compounds. If your wealth is increasing at 4% a year (very attainable for the class of people a wealth tax would affect) a 1% wealth tax really doesn't have as big an impact on your long term wealth as this makes it seem.
> Wrong. The losses also have to be compounded. That 1%, had it remained invested, would have grown at a compounding rate as well. So you lose the 1% and all compounded gains on it.

Perhaps. But a 4% rate of increase would still belie the contention in pg's post that "by 5% [the threshold at which the tax starts] is getting close to being an upper bound on how much of the company you get to keep". It seems probable that pg simply did not take interest into account.

> Government spending as a percentage of GDP has increased from 25% in the 1950s to 40% today. Social welfare spending increased by an average of 4.8%, EVERY YEAR, between 1972 and 2010.

Over the same period, the share of income going to the top 1% doubled.

> How much more do you think government spending should increase? What share of private economic output should be non-consensually redistributed for social welfare programs in your mind?
> Will there ever reach a stage where you think the negative effects on capital formation, from further tax hikes, will outweigh the positive effects of a greater share of economic output being available to the poor in the form of cash payments and social services?

Ever? Certainly, if you keep cranking up the number. But the United States isn't necessarily at or even near that stage, considering that several large European countries have strong economies despite much higher government spending as a percentage of GDP.
Second, taxes don't disappear into nothingness - they pay for civilization. It is clearly beneficial to everyone to live in a society where people are well cared for and have healthcare, public education, welfare, etc.

Or, and that's another possibility we should consider, taxes disappear into the pockets of bureaucrats and a handful of rent seekers with very little effect on civilization.

Before arguing for additional taxes, one must first show some evidence that we're getting reasonable ROI on what we're already paying, and https://transparentcalifornia.com/ shows exactly the opposite.

I am 100% in support for public healthcare, for example, but it will continue to look like a financial absurd as long as a knee MRI is 3x of any other country. Same thing with the higher education, public housing, etc.

They are usually fine. The inequality was way higher for most of the history and hungry peasants are no match for the army. We just remember the cases when the revolution won because it’s a good story. And the result was usually worse conditions for the poor.

I’m afraid that social equality peaked in XX century. Automation makes imposing social order so much easier, we might be stuck with this one for a while.

Wait, what? You say you're not arguing for favoritism, and then you say that it's a false equivalence because the government doesn't have a responsibility to act in your specific interest. Acting in your specific interest is favoritism. You're not being consistent here.

I see what you're thinking on GDP, but the things a wealth tax would go to fund (and does go to fund where it exists today) are percentage of GDP services. Things like healthcare, education, and a social safety net. These services naturally rise in cost in accordance with GDP because standard of living is supposed to rise with GDP per capita as well. This is why topics like healthcare cost are just about always framed in per capita or % of GDP terms. It's just that in the US our inequality distorts things considerably. You're also implicitly conflating averages with medians. It is 100% possible that a high GDP reflects that monetary value is being produced by a small portion of the population (possibly by exploiting workers), while the rest of the population needs more government assistance. There's a strong case that the US embodies this situation more and more over time.

This truly basic stuff needs to be instilled in children in elementary school: At least 50% (maybe even more like 70%) of all resources (time, money, etc) should be devoted to security whenever you are building something (house, computer program, etc.). It's not enough to try and "wear all the hats" if you are working at a startup. You need to have security experts on payroll from day 1 if you want any hope of creating a secure product, keeping your assets safe from your own employees (re: Twitter), etc.
