I don't know what it is about the Node.js ecosystem which leads to the dysfunction, but there's definitely dysfunction, and it's definitely endemic.

Compiling our front end assets takes longer and more CPU than our entire back end with many multiples the amount of source code.
>"Because IBM dominated the computer market all Sac State computer science students had to learn BAL (Basic Assembly Language) used on the IBM System/360, 370 and later mainframes.

Students had to prove their mastery of BAL by writing a working assembler, BASIC interpreter, simple compiler, operating system and data base.

To stop cheating completed student program listings, card decks and outputs were collected and stored in a locked area that faculty members reviewed to ensure students did not copy prior programs."

>"Bill recognized that all he needed was for the Intel 8008 to run the same BAL instructions. Bill had just finished a large graduate student project that created the firmware to make an IBM System 3 minicomputer run on a 4K based VLSI based computer.

Bill simply changed that code so BAL also ran on the Intel 8008.

This ability to run BAL let Bill's team pick and choose between the best student programs. They soon had the Sac State 8008 running DOS (Disk Operating System) which allowed loading and starting programs stored on paper tape, cassette tape, cartridge tape, and even their mobile pluggable 3/2 (three megabytes fixed, two removable) hard disk system. They had it running a simple BASIC interpreter. Because the BAL firmware ran so slow, Bill’s team also built a BAL assembler which instead of putting out one machine code instruction per human readable instruction put out all the code needed to run in 8008 machine code."
Not everyone here speaks English as a first language (including me). To me that sort of language policing just seems petty. We all know the point being made.
GoDaddy rejected me a year after I applied and only realized it when a recruiter was trying to input me into their system. I took great pride in informing her that a) I made more than their proposed offer and b) I’d never work for a company who couldn’t operate with basic human decency in their recruiting process.

Because of that experience, I make it a point that every single candidate deserves a yes or no response and the company I work for has kept that up.
Interesting article, I enjoyed it. The HFT/low-latency community has been riding this insight for many years, they call it "mechanical sympathy" and tend to favour algos/data structures etc that are designed assumign a particular hardware architecture in mind.
> print research papers?

I took this approach when I was in grad school because I find it much more enjoyable to read and take notes directly on a physical copy.

The problem with this is that you end up with giant stacks of papers that take up a good amount of physical space. Every physical copy becomes a subsequent judgement of whether you need to keep it or recycle it. It's easy to accumulate a large stack of papers: (1) that you _intend_ to read, or (2) mediocre papers that create a sunk cost situation because you've invested time in printing out and taking notes on it.

On the face of it, a tablet reader seems like it would solve this problem, but I've never had the desire to invest $300-500 in one.
We can predict GDP. Everyone knows ballpark where it will be without calamity.

The GDP is an overal measure of something not based on 'events'.

What we cannot predict are 'events' - like COVID, or a rash of market information coming to light like 2008 causing a domino effect.

Predicting marketing spend is like predicting what colour someone will chose for their favorite colour: it's within some range, but it's a choice.
Well, hopefully the brokerage’s risk department prevents that! If too many people went bankrupt and owed margin debt and the brokerage went under, the government would step in and take custody of securities and cash and get them back to the holders, (at some point) who may or may not take a loss if they’re over SIPCs coverage limits of 250,000 cash and 500,000 of securities.
@myraahio Given how quickly your site runs, I'm not entirely sure it runs a neural network - seems more like some weighted analysis based on some defined measures on simple algorithms? I'll take a wild stab and guess that you're doing some analysis, some manual labeling and k-means clustering?

I would really consider running a light weight network over a small image (down-scaled to something like 320x200), if you're only binning classes then you should be able to get it to <1ms on a low-power CPU. Given how much web pages vary, you'll likely need upwards of 10k training images.

Consider having some feature on your site to allow users to help rate pages (with moderation oversight).

It's a good start anyway! I look forward to seeing this in the future!

Edit: Also consider some expansion opportunities - rating screenshots of software interfaces, mobile phone apps, etc, etc.
I live in a Northern US state and we have a saying about four-wheel drive in the snow and ice: your car won’t slide as often, but when it does it will be disastrous. Every winter you see the ditch filled with pickup trucks and SUVs who have four or all wheel drive. Usually so deep in the ditch that they need a tow truck. Most of the two-wheel drive vehicles get stuck on the shoulder, where a simple shovel could easily free them.

The Fed can keep the market from going down, and they can keep it afloat for a long time. But all that energy builds up like a rubber band, until it snaps. The stock market is going up even though it has no reason to be going up. Which means valuations are higher than they would normally be, and keep going up even though they should be flat or going down. Usually this would be fixed through minor “corrections” like maybe a quarter or two of sliding prices and then quickly back to stability and growth again.

But the longer we refuse to let nature find its equilibrium, the more catastrophic the eventual reset will be.

How do you do a downgrade attack on, say, an encrypted backup?
Hi! Welcome to the hill. First, let's remember the original context: The top poster used an NPR article which explored the systemic racism of vitamin D tests. One of the key findings was that the test results can be very disconnected from actual metabolic processes and seem to only be accurate for people with specific genetic backgrounds.

Your [0][1][2][3] use those same systemically-erroneous tests (click through and look for 25). To me, this confirms that the problem's endemic to the system of medicine.

In general, it seems that you believe that we well-understand vitamin D and thus clearly the situation is that there's a difference between white and black people. To me, however, what the situation says is that we poorly understand vitamin D! We've taken something that seems important because it was historically important to white people and tried to extrapolate it cleanly to all people, but it first needs to be cleaned of the racist lens. Indeed, from your [1], "Data on vitamin D levels in healthy African adults is scant."

From your [3], vitamin D levels are experimentally low in African-Americans and Hispano-Americans. Occum's Razor begs us to justify why this isn't a race-poverty correlation, yet another indication that our society is systematically disenfranchising folks based on skin color and country of origin. With better diet might come better vitamin D blood levels.

You know why this sort of research is ammunition for racists, right? It's because racism is the belief that humans don't form one single species. By considering African-Americans as having exotic genetics, research like what you've linked implicitly and directly backs the racist agenda.

Finally: You seem to think that racism is something which tars and stains people, but that is from the same bogus essentialism that spawns racism itself. No, it's a series of beliefs about genetics, and those beliefs can be refuted. The reason why racism is a "serious accusation" is not because of some danger of ejecting valued contributors from the community; it is because it leads directly to people being shot in the street, sterilized in concentration camps, harvested for organs, etc.
I'm very happy to see this. I came back to Rust for a personal project after a long break from using it. The first issue I looked into was the error handling situation. I found a blog post that covered it pretty nicely and led me to the anyhow crate, but I would love for there to be official guidelines and for the features from anyhow and thiserror to be built in.
It's more relevant that it says that it's unfair when women are given rights that men aren't.
Good ol' metadata strikes again. I wish AWS would make a virtual block device for accessing this content instead of network (at least as an option). Much easier to protect at the OS level.

The v2 service helps with this but it doesn't beat awareness of the issue.
There's a difference between intentionally injuring opponents and running up the score. A monopoly is someone running up the score. A company hiring someone to take out a competitor's employee is intentionally injuring the opponent.
Although I've toyed with various synthesis and I have working experience with Faust, I must admit most of project description is way over my head.

To hijack the thread a bit, I'm interested in synthesizing sound samples from scratch. Things like footsteps, squeaking doors, wind, birds, percussions and collision sounds. I'd like to have a synth of sorts that can be configured through ~30 parameters to produce wide range of such effects. People often use SFXR and clones [0] for such purpose. Is there a model that would produce more convincing results while keeping such low number of parameters?

I strongly agree with your desires, but I've also been sucked into the D vs R world lately. While I've always been politically left, I despise the 2 party system.

I'm of the opinion that a first past the post and winner take all voting system will almost always produce a 2 party outcome. As such, until we change the voting system I've decided to stop considering myself independent and throw in with the party most closely aligned with my views.

I don't think your imagined future is impossible, though! I just think it's heavily discouraged by our voting system. We can change our voting systems, though. I'd really strongly encourage you to check out and support Ranked Choice Voting (or other proposed voting systems). I don't think it's a silver bullet, but I think RCV would go a long way to breaking down the 2 party system

"One interesting thing is that the Russian vaccine tests were criticized for not sharing raw data"

I'm sure that, if one searched hard enough, one could find such a criticism. However, most of the criticism centered around the fact that the vaccine was "approved" on the basis of nearly zero actual human data.

“I would say that we started this project very much with a technology mindset and focus on technical problems,” Ivov told The Daily Swig.

Indeed, I didn't read the paywalled article, wrongly assuming that "tourist" meant foreign tourist, and generalizing personal experience with some foreign tourists in Thailand (unrelated with this article content).

That being said, tourists visiting national park such as Kao Yai are better behaved than in some beach locations. Also Kao Yai entry fee is about $15, which is affordable for foreigners (who are plenty there in regular times).
Here's a simple question to ask yourself: do the workers own the company? If the answer is no, it's not a left wing company by any stretch.
I dont want to sound like a hater here, but why is it that so many people in this thread claim a 72% score?

This whole thing seems to me like it isn't any AI by the common understanding, but just a few hardcoded scores and criteria.

Now, thats probably wrong, and the AI is super neat, but I think it doesn't look very good when it does that.

I dont think the chances are high that so many different websites all score exactly 72%. Not 71, not 73, 72.

Its weird. Now the whole site looks nice and all, I saw the papers referenced, too.

But again, when I read that it's "97% accurate", I wonder how that is even measured? I understand that there are measures of how easy to use a site is, etc. So I wonder what cases those 3% were, where your AI was "wrong"? Did you hand-review them, or what?

No they don't. The average person's insurance doesn't cover bad stock performance, the only insurance against bad trades is adjusting the beta of your portfolio. What happens when a main street investor gets hit by a crash, depending on how bad the crash is, is that they lose their savings. If they actually end up with debt that they can't repay, they may lose their house (if they own one), declare bankruptcy, and have their credit ruined for several years.

If there's something constructive to take from the somewhat brutal set of responses you've received, I'd say it's to strategically consider how to make this software friendly to the HN type of remote worker (those who value independence and don't wish to simulate an office environment).

I'm not sure exactly what that would look like, but if that type of remote worker feels too threatened by the software, the companies will receive lots of push back and you're less likely to retain them as a customer.
When doing non-CG crash for movies, they often stuff the vehicle with explosives for a more spectacular result. They know it's not realistic, because they take the decision to add all these explosives.

CCDs aren't monochromatic though: they detect a wide band of frequencies, they just can't tell the difference. High dispersion in the lens is a problem because a blue photon and a red photon originating from the same spot on the same object, hitting the same spot on the lens, will be deflected to different spots on the CCD. This causes fringing and fuzziness in the image.

The rest of the tech industry was implicated as well, which is even less reasonable, but makes more sense in terms of attempting to drum up political support by coercion: help us, or your employees will know you're helping our opponent.

You can argue the semantics or meaning of the word accident in this incident, but I think it is important to make the distinction that it was no accident in bringing down the system that both the university and the hospital depend upon. They consciously decided to do this. Their ignorance of the full network does not take away from the intent of the original crime. An IT staff making an update that has an unexpected and unfortunate effect of bringing down the system is an accident. It is why when someone dies during the commission of another felony crime the charge is murder for all of the original perpetrators involved. The rule of transferred intent. The others don't get off, and nobody argues it is an accident [1]. Actions and consequences.
