Looking for data scientist and ML engineer roles. Specialty is in time series forecasting but have also done a fair amount of work in NLP. I have designed ML solutions from data gathering stage all the way to deployment and beyond. Additionally, I have exposure to many different roles in the data ecosystem (DE, DS, MLOps) and have led small teams of data scientists to create effective ML powered solutions.
You may be correct, but do you really have to be so attacking?
It’s not an excuse and I’m not saying windows can work for you, but there are quite a few horrible ways to configure windows and corporate IT has figured all of them out. The state of windows in most enterprise deployments is disgusting to me.

Huge progress has been made on consolidating settings in the last couple years, unfortunately that means everyone is unhappy right now because old settings are constantly being moved to more consistent locations but you still need to know both the old and new ways.
I am a lay person so please don't just trust what I'm saying, but don't think you need to be an expert in the field to deduce why it won't happen.

First of all, there's no money in it. So the technical reasons, whatever they are, don't really matter.

Second, I don't think it's that simple to just apply CRISPR to this problem, like CRISPR is some kind of magic bullet. This would be asking way more of CRISPR than previous experiments by orders of magnitude. It would be like asking the Wright brothers when they're going to scale their flying technology to get to Mars.
But if there are ABI breakages in base (say, a new syscall used in libc) you want to boot the new kernel with the old userland, then get the new userland later.

At least, I have heard this explanation in the context of OpenBSD, and assume it may also apply to FreeBSD.
Nvidia and Arm to Create World-Class AI Research Center in Cambridge
Currently the US sell for $70b worth of semiconductors to China annually, that's 36% of all US chip sales [1]

Of course, any government's goal should be to diversify and not to be too dependent on a single country (like China is dependent on the US at the money). But that indeed should something for the Chinese government to worry about and, arguably, not for the US to force their hand in a move that will actually benefit China in the long term.

I strongly suspect there are few large settlements worldwide where it's not possible to grow produce either outdoors or in polytunnels to cater for this need. But if it were the case, we (humanity) could either move the settlements or allow an exception for the missing essentials. It would still drastically reduce freighting overall.
"That said, in this particular situation, you'd be changing the WB in post."

I definitely would not be doing that lol. I would prefer to set up the camera so that I can get an idea of what I'm actually capturing before I go out. In this case you can take a moment to adjust WB and exposure and then just go out and focus on your images without worrying about too much changing in terms of exposure. I would be super annoyed shooting this type of scene if every time I looked down at the LCD I just saw a normalized scene.

You're wrong OK, just deal with it lol
Sure, there's nothing that says established practice is better. That is not, in my opinion, a good defense of Go which makes many baffling design decisions. Besides, an appeal to the authority of Rob Pike is surely not a valid defense if mine is not a valid criticism.

I'm (perhaps unfairly) uninterested in writing out all the details, but “they think they know better” is because I see Go as someone's attempt to update C to the modern world without considering the lessons of any of the languages developed in the meantime. And because of the weird dogmatic wars about generics, modules, and error handling.
Beware inaccurate info:

In the first bullet: AWS is completely free for the first year of use, after that, you get charged for what you use.

At a minimum, that needs a disclaimer that there is a fairy generous but not unlimited free tier to be right.
I think these quotes are coming from either end of the spectrum of physics and biology and don't necessarily say the same thing.

Some that caught my eye:

"Improve our modelling of impact winter scenarios, especially for 1–10 km asteroids. Work with experts in climate modelling and nuclear winter modelling to see what modern models say. "

I think impact scenarios is a definite, but nuclear winter is actually an extremely questionable "theory". Many people are not aware, but the the Russian KGB boasted that they literally made this up in order to divert public opinion in the west against nuclear weapons as NATO rolled out medium range missiles in Europe back in 1982: http://www.rationaloptimist.com/blog/nuclear-winter/
The mushrooms clouds from nuclear detonations do indeed dissipate over a few days. I believe subsequent modeling has come up empty even in the worst case scenarios.

"Develop more reliable and tamper-proof measures for so-called ‘dark tetrad’ traits — psychopathy, Machiavellianism, sadism, and narcissism."

I actually like this question and have been thinking the same thing recently. These traits are very dangerous especially when exhibited by those at the top of the food chain in both politics and business and need to be identified early and treated, and not allowed to flourish among those in power (Some good reads on this is The Sociapath Next Door and the Sociopath Test). Bad actors have incredibly out-sized influence globally.

"Why have certain aspects of Chinese civilization been so long-lasting? Are there any lessons we can draw from this about what makes for highly resilient institutions, cultures, or schools of thought?"

I'd be curious to know what they are referring to here in modern China. Is this question even relevant post cultural revolution? I think its a more relevant question for Taiwan that preserved the "old" culture as best it could.
I think movie will be pretty major, since it summarizes many points that people following it "know", but in one place. I essentially live and breathe this stuff at this point, and yet it is ridiculously hard to talk about.

You can see it in the start of the show - when people are asked what the problem is. Everyone's brains just stall with the scope and challenge of putting it into words.

It is great at explaining concepts and problems to people, which are very hard to discuss just using conversation.

I was discussing polairzation increasing since the year 2000, and the implications of that with someone. It took me almost an hour of discussion, to get an acknowledgement of the possibility.

One look at the Social Dilemma's animation on polarization trends over time? Never have to make that argument again.
> The TSA is responsible for creating the roadblock, and therefore should be responsible for keeping travelers whole. "read the rules" is not a justification for their policies, as it's common to have an arbitrarily-prohibited item hide in your bag. Especially the types of items that you want to live in your backpack (eg pocket knives) that you have to make sure to unpack before the airport.

Knives aren't "arbitrarily-prohibited item[s]". There's a quite famous case of a series of hijackings that were done with box-cutters (e.g. utility knives), that resulted in 3,000 dead.
"It takes about 80 watts" - Watt is a measure of power, you need energy instead (Joules / Watt hours / etc )
The global market needs China, in order to be profitable, and to succeed.

I wonder if China will say that the manufacturing of all ARM devices in China will be illegal. Then those companies will scramble to shift their manufacturing out of China, thereby increasing their own costs for everyone, then bankrupting themselves in the process.
I've never come across a photo app without a WB setting. These people should discard their phones along with their notions that they are holding a camera that will always perfectly capture the scene as their eyes see it.

You can use the same receptacle to discard your notion that this article had any value.

The wildfire smoke has brought that future that we'd feared and daydreamed (daymared?) about; where we can actually see the posibility and impetus for living in self-contained bubbles of breathable atmosphere and livable temperatures.

Now is the time that we are finally transitioning to electric vehicles and hopefully toward sustainable policies and economies, but has the collective level of consciousness risen to empower us to meet these challenges?
Silver Apples is one of the most out-there musical acts ever created, and Simeon’s willingness to take risks that were bold even for the famously bold timeframe in which he created makes him an icon that remains essential even today.
Making comments where the actual view of the author is made up by the reader is most of the time not a good idea. Do you mean that he is against democracy? That he is not humble and like things named after him?

I feel like you meant well with the comment, but it's hard to understand what's positive here, except that the people naming the boat thought of Attenborough.
> mass migrations that will be required later this century due to carbon emissions.

...only if we choose not to do something about controlling fertility. But in the end I strongly suspect we'll all be travelling about a lot less. Which is fine with me. Globalism is all about destroying diversity and culture, which is an awful future.

I love FreeBSD much more than Linux, and i wish i could use it instead of Linux on my desktop/notebook machines.

But the graphics have to play a catch up game with Linux, and in my experience a couple of drivers were missing or not working properly (like wireless stuff, acpi, etc..)

The performance of the network stack is the best of any OS, and the interface with the OS in general is much more well designed than Linux, giving Linux is more of a Bazar effort with things stitched here and there to make some things works.

It's sad that the amount of man-hours on Linux, make it almost unavoidable and i bet this will be more and more true with time even with Windows and OS X.
Basically. The text placement syntax is essentially "put this glyph or string of glyphs at these coordinates". So it could even be as granular as a textbox for each individual glyph.

I couldn’t help but thinking of the movie/documentary itself as an act of manipulation and an attempt to distract from the real issue.

The real problem is the way big venture capital is funding these companies. Allowing them to become so big, while suppressing all competition in order to concentrate profits. This is what has made these companies into the monsters they are now. In this era of big tech focus has shifted, IMO, from creating and implementing fair and simple common standards to , among other things, walled gardens and egregious bullshit wherein people don’t even own most things they’re paying for.

The act of manipulating others into situations that are favourable to yourself is not something new and has probably been practiced for centuries. The documentary, which I admittedly couldn’t force myself to finish, seemed to gloss over the big money aspect to focus (in the most cringe way) on the psychological manipulation aspect, which made its insights unoriginal and shallow.
What’s fascinating is that prior to CA helping targeting in the previous election cycle, this capability was kind of embraced by politicians and industry as the next evolution in political campaigning... but few recognized an issue with that kind of data usage at the time...

Resources are limited. If a Samsung phone and a Motorola phone need the same screen and there's not enough to go around, what happens?

A bidding war of course.

On the surface, it's capitalism at work. In reality, Samsung winds up in a no-lose situation. If Motorola wins, Samsung gets bigger margins due to the battle. If Samsung wins, they play "pass around the money" with their accountants, but their only actual costs are those of production.

I'd note that chaebol wouldn't exist in a free market. They rely on corruption of the Korean government.
No-go theorems exist (conservation of energy for example, hence no perpetual motion machines). Instead, they tediously had to exclude any process they could think of one by one.
I'm not really stumping for the carbon tax here, it's mostly just a thought experiment on the relative significance of pricing carbon.

I have to add though, while carbon taxes would have challenges to implement, adding a carbon tax to fuel specifically is not hard to measure at all! We know exactly how much carbon is in the fuel. A $40/ton carbon tax means +$0.36 per gallon of gasoline.

P.S. The US federal fuel tax ($0.18) was last increased in 1993, and was not indexed to inflation.

> it made things worse by adding aviation and shipping...Talk about creative accounting.

I'm glad someone else recognizes it.

I'm not a massive proponent of 'local manufacturing' because there are efficiencies to be had letting others build their skills in something that you might not want to focus on. Regardless, I do think that the public's debate about this should be framed with your post (perfunctory), so that we can wrestle with all the unintended consequences and we can make those important decisions as an informed public.

P.S. This goes for any country. Not just Britain, hence I didn't mention Britain in my post. Ultimately, I'm just glad others see the shady 'facts' that deceive the public.
The solution probably lies much more in creating barriers preventing the fire from spreading from one area to the next ones. It's unlikely we're going to catch every instance, and some fire is indeed necessary in some regions. We just don't want one instance of fire incident resulting in lung cancer for 35 million people.
There is no evidence to indicate that we can reliably identify the brightest people, or that they would do better at solving political problems. For example, Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney both seemed quite bright in 2003, at least to the extent that they probably would have scored highly on standardized IQ tests. And yet they made major decisions which seem obviously stupid in retrospect. So how much did their intelligence really help?

High intelligence in political leaders too often leads to hubris. It must be tempered by some level of emotional intelligence, humility, and wisdom.

WMMX was exposed via the ARM coprocessor mechanism (so it was permitted by the architecture). The coprocessor stuff was removed in ARMv8.

The scale is off. Things that affect local ecosystems are cooling multi-gigawatt nuclear reactors with nearby ocean water, you would be lucky if one of these drew a megawatt of power.

That said, the physics are "heat is heat". If you put it into the air or you put it directly into the ocean the only way it leaves the planet is by black body radiation. As a result locally heating some seawater nearby has (on a global scale) the same impact as heating the air the same amount.

Now we know there are some ecosystems in the ocean that prefer thermal vents and you might find that around the data center itself you have a wider variety of sea life than is found in the general vicinity due to different thermal conditions. Not sure if you could map out that was a positive or negative change.

Generally though, the ecological impact of doing this at scale is not going to be different in scale than land data centers.

> It's admirable, an open exchange of ideas with people you disagree with. Just like we're doing here! Good on us.

Well there are disagreements stemming from different perspectives or opinions, and then there is the distinction between proper research and conclusions drawn from wilful ignorance, cherry picked data and wild presumptive leaps of imagination that masquerade themselves as legitimate research. Graham Hancock's work is pseudoscience, period. My disagreement with you is not a matter of exchanging perspectives, it's a matter of exposing lies.
> And HVAC systems create far more waste heat than they do cooling, so this passive cooling will just be moving the source heat to the water, not dumping extra waste heat as well.

Where do you get that idea? A typical EER 12 air conditioner will move 3.5x the heat energy that it consumes (COP = 3.5) [0].

I've been watching Sir David Attenborough since I was a kid, and I am now middle aged.

And I've known about species extinction since I was a little kid. They've happened and keep happening. Little to nothing seems to have done to prevent them during my lifetime.

I feel powerless and have no idea what to do about it.

I mean things that will actually make a huge difference, not just telling myself I am making a difference by doing little things like not having a car, or re-using and recycling.

And pardon me for saying this, but part of me is ever so slightly disappointed Covid-19 is not a lot more deadly. I am a terrible person.
Ask HN: What is the best database to use heavy text processing?
i started out working with relational database and
have stuck to them on my various clients and projects.

I started out with Sybase and moved over to SQL Server where I have been until.
In projects where it made sense, I have also used Elasticsearch,

Now I am part of starting a new open source project that will be almost entirely text manipulation and links. Initially our sample is about 100GB of non-compressed text.

Once (if) we prove our ideas we will make an announcement of some sort.

Now we need to store the text that is not so difficult.
My understanding is that serval NoSQL databases lend themselves well to that.

My problem now is identifying candidate databases (or something else) that will be able to store large amounts of text and a huge amounts of links between all the content.

There will be millions of links, and the links are not static.
The value in what we are developing are the links not really the text.

My present old fashioned idea is to use Postgres, break it all down to words and let links define everything else.

I was hoping some smart souls out there can give me better ideas.
This is basic thermodynamics stuff.

I'm honestly not sure if you are being serious. Children around the world are suffering eco-anxiety over climate change, and it is not clear that their (or anyone else's) anxiety will result in better outcomes.
I'd wager a movie on a mass distribution platform like Netflix is going to be more effective at making people aware of the problem and help them mitigate its effects on an individual basis... than, say, trying to change the way capital flows.
It would indicate that, but it's also somewhat expected if we're around to make that observation, which tempers how much information we can take away from it.

However, happening on two adjacent planets would really affect our estimations of the likelihood of abiogenesis.

That's a good point. I guess it is "unfair" but that isn't necessarily an argument against it - as you say lots of things are unfair.

But, given the high market share of Arm in several markets allowing one firm the ability to use that market share to gain competitive advantage in related markets seems to me to be deeply problematic.
I wonder what the average is, i.e, how many people have to see an ad to click it. Only time I seem to click those ads seem by mistake
In my opinion, the Big Question in politics is: what are corporations not doing well, and how do we do the best job of doing that? (if not directly, then by proxy/with incentives)

Structurally, corporations tend to underinvest in R&D with big future payoffs and societal benefits/positive externalities that are hard to capture. That's where the government should step in, and it has been slacking on that front for the last 20 years.

Another job of government is to ensure the proper functioning of markets. Anti-trust is an important part of that. The government has been slacking on that front for the last 40 years.

That's without getting into education, transportation, and inequality, all of which are very important problems that are either unaddressed by or exacerbated by corporations. I don't think we have a major problem with identifying existing talent, and if we do it is a comparatively lesser issue.
