You just inspired an idea from me regarding HN comments. I think Slashdot still has one of the most elegant commenting systems around, even if the quality of the comments (due to the site's ownership) is worse.

I would love to tag HN comments with certain attributes and be able to filter them out. For example, this comment and the parent could be tagged "meta-discussion". Then those who want to discuss the content of the article could filter them out quickly.

/. tags are pretty accurate - "funny" "informative" "insightful" "trolling" - though trolling is a delete-level offense here.

Likewise, metamoderation (peer review, or moderation of tagging) was a brilliant idea.
I don't think they understimate the non-linearity of real neurons. It's simply a trade-off. Accurate models were unpractical (too computationally expensive) the last time I checked. There's quite a bit of research on neuron modelling, both for accurate responses and approximations that are fast to compute. The wikipedia article [0] is actually a really good read. What's true is that with the current upscaling of neural networks, it might be worth it to look back at more sophisticate approximations and see if they are implementable now. But I guess the problem would not be just training, but the fact that the trained networks would also be more expensive to run. I don't really know much about the topic, so if anyone has studied this in more detail and wants to share something...

AC Could Help Instead of Hurt the Environment – Cheddar Explores
My main dissatisfaction with Vitamin D studies is the fact that they usually try to isolate it as a self-contained factor that you can simply raise or lower and observe effects, while neglecting the complex system it is normally a part of.

How about instead treating it as a simple block of that complex system? What I mean is that Vitamin D typically correlates with sun exposure and a healthy outdoorsy lifestyle (i.e. the system). I would think that if you want to understand how its presence affects an individual, you would try raising/lowering it specifically on subjects whose lifestyle guarantees the presence of that system.
The big pop and big drop around the S&P 500 decision is not just TSLA craziness. It's also S&P 500 craziness - people were, I'm guessing, speculating on the expected effect that an S&P 500 listing would have on demand for TSLA shares.

Or, to put it another way, I think we just saw another indication that the S&P 500 index is not immune to Goodhart's Law.

Is there? To me, it seems like either this behavior would hurt their profits, in which case it doesn't really matter that much whether they're public or not (they get hurt either way), or it wouldn't but a public company would have more backlash, in which case it seems like an efficient market would have actors that look for companies getting backlash, buy the cheap stock, and then enjoy the (unaffected, by assumption) profits.
I don’t want to be the contrarian that persists in the face of scientific evidences, but I will point out that none of the RCTs listed combined Vitamin D with supplementation of Vitamin K, which several studies suggest plays a synergistic role when it comes to the health benefits.

> although no one has done it yet

This may be generally true (though the benchmarks I've seen show Knet.jl and sometimes Flux.jl on par with TF/PyTorch with a single machine + single GPU), but there are definitely domains where it is categorically not. The most prominent one is neural *DEs, where the SciML [1] ecosystem has SOTA performance. You can really see Python/C++-based frameworks struggle here because they have slow "glue code" and don't (one could argue can't effectively) optimize for latency. That's not a problem for most CV models and transformers, but really stunts research into more dynamic approaches.

Your point is very well taken.

Empire making and keeping is inherently violent, but the current trend seems to be trying to make the case that Hindu emperors achieved what they achieved with peace, rainbows and divine fairness (and some old Hindu science of flying machines, plastic surgery between humans and elephant heads. All lost because of outside invasion). Pushing this point of view has been the national agenda in the current political situation.

They might not be held accountable financially, but I think we can and should stop calling them reputable.

I saw this earlier today (Edit: instead of the first 10 minutes, I ended up watching the whole thing.) After going into the problems of client side rendering, he does get into the benefits (9:00), but then argues that these are after-the-fact rationalizations. He then argues that the real problem designers and devs are trying to solve is the loss of control - that the browser controls loading, and the blank screen is "bad."

He then says that the solution is using an iframe (called a portal.) which looks to be a proposed API. https://web.dev/hands-on-portals/ - this is available as an origin trial in Chrome 85.

So, he's saying that SPAs are bad and we should invest in a Chrome-only feature or future feature that might make it through standards? This makes no sense to me.

There are multiple uses for SPAs. One is building a genuine web application, such as Gmail or a SAAS. SPAs are also used in places they shouldn't, such as news sites, because of the page load problem as mentioned above. Portals would be useful here.

But it gets to the real problem: client side rendering in the past decade has had a lot more thought and effort in tooling, tutorials, and patterns on the client side than server side, especially with mixed mode. (Mixed mode: adding javascript on top of server-side rendering.) The problem is that server-side rendering and mixed mode is not a good development experience. The back button was never a fully solved problem and POST-redirect-GET is essentially an insufficient hack.

If someone wants to talk about making server side rendering for web applications a viable experience, we are likely going to need changes to the standards and we will need to build up a great set of tooling to solve the problem. (Oh, and since it's server-side rather than javascript, each framework or language will have to replicate it just like React, Angular, Vue, and others have done.)
I wouldn’t disagree. My point is that it’s not unreasonable to criticize a company which publicly thanks the CPC security forces, just as it’s not unfair for companies to get tons of flack for conditions in their factories or fields.

They aren't 'random' per se.

Typically you'd find one online and look at the reviews and ask people on forums about it.

The aftermarket car audience is very online, much like HN. Getting into it, again like with programming, requires a fair bit of knowledge/mistakes. But, you gain knowledge and get better over time.

If the electronics screwup your OBC, you can just get a new one. If they screwup your wiring or blow your engine, well, you don't get into cars if you don't want oil all over your arms. Blowing things up and rebuilding engines is part of the 'fun'.

The biggest mystery for me is why so many people believe so strongly in Facebook Ads. I have never gotten ANYTHING other than bot traffic from FB, or anything above 0% conversion, after repeatedly (mis-)spending thousands on FB ads. I must really be going all backwards about it, or something.

(P.S. this is for content that otherwise gets a very healthy conversion rate from organic traffic)
Reader mode on Firefox does a great job too!
https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/7528254

Google has a such product but I think it is nowhere close to the majority of ad spending. A part of the reasons is that it needs campaigns' conversion volumes to be above a certain threshold (so their model has a reasonable amount of training data) while advertisers may exploit the system by not reporting legitimate conversions. So Google requires them to be eligible by some unknown criteria.

There's a demonstrated lack of understanding around important details of this case in your responses.

The accusation you raise is a key part of the interview with Melzer.

The original witness statement was intentionally destroyed, and the supervisor of the policewoman who conducted the questioning wrote an email telling her to rewrite the statement.

(The original copies of the mail exchanges between the Swedish police are actually displayed in the article.)

The statement that forms the basis of that claim "was edited without the involvement of the woman in question and it wasn’t signed by her. It is a manipulated piece of evidence out of which the Swedish authorities then constructed a story of rape."

As to your attempted lazy smearing – it doesn't really do you any favours here.

As a final plea, perhaps read-up on the details so you can get a better understanding of the case:

> Puppet is a great tool for managing containers, and so is Chef.

Eh. While I won't say that it can't be used, I will argue that it's not the best tool for the job. I wouldn't call it a "great tool" for that purpose, although I suppose that depends on your workflow. I prefer to take the approach that containers are immutable once built. If you want to change the container, fine- make your changes, build a new instance, hotswap the connections over, and bring down the old one. There's no need for any sort of config management in my eyes, at least not in the traditional sense.

Now, Puppet could be useful for things like managing the VMs that the containers are running on, but I would prefer those stay immutable too, and with containers, they easily can. I'm (sadly) very aware that not all enterprise software can fit in this model though. Enterprise always lags behind, but it will get there. Hell, even SAP is heavily exploring containers. It's only a matter of time.

> Its Tesla's liability and reputation if a Tesla vehicle with questionable integrity burns at a DC fast charger.

That same argument could be made for just about anything being sold -- the original owner could still exert control over your purchase because their reputation might be damaged if you weren't careful. You're not wrong that the court of public opinion can be vindictive, but I think that's by far the lesser evil compared with not actually owning the things you buy. We grant exceptions here and there (can't use your baseball bat to kill a person, usually), but none anywhere nearly as invasive as prohibiting any activity that might give a former owner bad PR.

The fact that Tesla has an automated means of enforcement is a big part of why this is coming up at all. They don't have to wait to figure out what the courts say; they can use software to do what they want till they're explicitly forbidden.

I'm on the same boat.

Kind of weird (and again in the same boat as OP) as I was probably among the few in my country to actually have access to a brand new IBM PC back in the late 80s as my father got it from the university as part of the research grant. Most of my friends were lucky to own a NES at that time. But I never got the idea to learn programming.

Even as I was super interested in games and game programming (idea eventually hit), I again decided NOT to take CS as my major back in the university. It looks like I'm trying to stay away from my hobby. No idea why.

Then finally a few years ago I suddenly decided to teach myself C++ and from there I gradually built up my knowledge here and there. C++ hit me as a very good language to begin with (not a good idea btw), at least on the side of game programming. As I'd like to program retro RPGs, custom engine came as a natural thing as the earlier games were very easy on graphics. Anyway I did program a half done map editor and game for an Ultima spin-off and that was pretty much it. Eventually I got myself a couple of nice jobs so I didn't have much time for programming at the moment, but still trying to get a bit done here and there, mostly data structure and algorithm as I want to get a bit deeper before working on any medium size game project.

Anyway I don't want to turn this into a professional job as that might be tedious (I work in a game dev company). Working on side projects could be very fun!

For fully static sites it is hard to compete with "upload files to S3 and host via CloudFront" with the caveat that it costs about 10 cents per gig*month to store data and 10 cents to send a gig out.

If your usage will be small enough that those prices aren't painful then you get true 24/7 availability, reasonable performance and a lot of convenience.

Add the python server and your costs might go up. For applications that are mostly static but have an occasional form (say email newsletter subscribe/verify/unsubscribe script) the economics of the lambda functions and the web service gateway are great. If you are going to have a python script called for every html page (e.g. conventional CMS) you might not like the economics.

You could run a small cloud server with the dynamic parts, you will always feel some tradeoff between "throw a lot of resources at it and be delighted with performance" and "try to save resources and find your server upside down with the casters up occasionally"

As for the rasp pi that was a fantasy that I remember internet anarchists being into back in the days of Hakim Bey and Falun Gong. It seemed "liberating" to people to have the 23/6 availability and inconsistent performance of running a low-price server at home. It might feel good to you but the users won't appreciate it.

Today it seems something a conservative politician would do: host the web server to get welfare benefits on a rasp pi behind a slow connection.
