Messi is probably already the best football player of all time.

Maradona had more charisma and leadership though.
We are on the cusp of new religions forming around AI.

As primitive and nonsensical as GPT-3 is, even in this thread on a site full of technologically literate people we already see some suggesting that GPT-3 is a superintelligence.

Imagine how the technologically illiterate and credulous, of which there are many, might react to GPT-4.

Also consider what would happen if a similar model was trained not indiscriminately on a hodgepodge of every text its creators could get their hands on, but specifically on oracular and sacred texts.

A new religion might spontaneously ignite from that alone, but of course the likelihood increases if the tool gets in to the hands of someone with that intent.
I’m actually curious what’s wrong about it? I read it from an outsider perspective and it’s full of very convincing arguments against “blockchains.” You’re absolutely correct that he’s writing from his understanding, but Schneider’s been in the field for decades (more than many Bitcoin proponents are old), so I’m more inclined to believe he knows what he’s talking about than some other random person on the internet.

I’m of the opinion that fusion is already done for classified military use. Exclusive availability of small scale fusion reactors would be a huge tactical logistical advantage.
Not what I said. It is just that in the respective environments the costs of developing and operating these doesn't return a higher ROI than simpler systems.

Not because they do not work, but because simpler systems can be run comparatively cheap in environments that are very stratified and were the underlying data situation is a messed up clusterfuck to begin with.

Believe me I really, really wonder how these companies are able to make money given what they have in terms of underlying central data quality. It is unbelievable sometimes.
> The market only acts fairly when the product is a commodity.

The market only acts fairly in the window after a product is commoditized and before regulatory capture happens.

And in some cases that window is closed before it opens.
Yup, use a few different APIs to paint a picture going back around 20 yrs, including fundamentals, filings, ex-div dates, splits, reverse splits. Currently focused on US equities exclusively, and the foreign companies that have secondary listings on US exchanges. Definitely keeping me busy, just with those ~7668 tickers.
I've always wondered if you could market this as "vegetarian chicken" under the rationale that eating it doesn't cause an increase in net animal death. It may be more expensive but plenty of things are sold as more expensive for the ethical version.

At the end of the day, my suspicion is even most vegetarians don't like being confronted with the realities of egg production.
Ask HN: Sabattical Experiences?
I've been in the software industry for over six years now. Still enjoy it but I feel like taking a long break, getting out of the SV bubble and exploring the world for a bit, maybe 6-12 months.

Has anyone taken a sabbatical before and would like to share their experience? I'm wondering what types of things people do. Currently debating if I should just travel the world, or volunteer at an organization like the Peace Corps, or do something else to get me out of my SV / big tech company bubble :)

There is no "official" way for you to download it.

IIRC it is stored in your Google Drive under an API key that is dedicated to whatsapp (in some kind of per-app storage). I don't really know much about Google Drive API.

However, I am fairly sure that the key is in the binary on your phone, so it shouldn't be much of a challenge to get access.

I think there was something like this on Github once, that no longer works (due to trivial changes, likely).

Update:

Looks recent, didn't try myself.
Maybe vegans do that but most vegetarians I know of don't eat meat for one simple reason: they are disgusted by it. Vegetarians don't really care about the ethics of it. In fact they are fine with animal based products, like milk.
"The market only acts fairly when the product is a commodity."

Based on context (rest of your comment), did you mean "substitute good" instead of "commodity"?
If you're looking for something in the Raspberry Pis price range, the Rock Pi X is only $20 more than the equivalent 4GB Pi4

It has 32GB eMMC onboard too so unlike the Pi4 there's no need to deal with external USB storage or flaky SD cards

Aha! Another opportunity to plug my fusion reactor!

http://www.DDproFusion.com

The design has a lot of similarities to NIF in some respects. I aim to create an ultra dense implosion of deuterium ions.

Thats where the similarity ends though. The key to viability in my eyes is to recover the energy of the ions that don't fuse to create another implosion.

In my device, ions leaving the focus are curved by a weak, uniform, magnetic field. Each ion travels along it's cyclotron trajectory to circle back to the focus at the right time for the next implosion.

What exactly was "gutted" other than the Fine if you did not carry insurance? Which was largely regressive and blatantly unconstitutional but since they labeled the fine a "tax" it just scraped since the court system has not ruled a federal program unconstitutional since FDR threaten to Stack the court.
Me too. I last had a desktop, at work, about that long ago, and have not bought a desktop computer for myself in a lot longer. Laptops got very good and I can still plug it into a monitor and external controllers when I need to. I don’t need a server at home because of the cloud and broadband.

There are good paying jobs outside STEM. Finance, consulting, media, law (especially IP law if you have a bachelors in STEM), etc.

If an engineering grad decides to become an actuary or management consultant or investment banker, that doesn't necessarily mean they couldn't find a STEM job.

The “false understanding” is most likely how he starts at the conclusion of “Bitcoin == bad” and works from that instead. But both types of essays are ok. The former is just an “argumentative” or “persuasive” essay, while the latter is akin to a “compare and contrast” one.
I don’t think many people will claim that he was a good person. He’s lionized for his football playing, like Messi.
Well - I said I have seen and tested. I would love for positive ML cases to arise. I really would. That would make it way easier to sell my Data Science colleagues to the respective clients on terms other than hype and buzzwords.

I also believe that with a good situation in underlying data quality we could be talking about massively reduced costs in getting these systems up and running - and this would tip the scale in favor of said systems.

But what I see in terms of data quality makes me sometimes just want to run as fast as I can in the other direction.
There is nothing wrong with it. I'm posting it because it's a new thing in Whatsapp, the worlds most popular messenger, and I wanted people to know of this change.

As a real vegan (not a meme about vegans that you saw from meat eaters) I can confidently tell you that "animals are alive and they have feelings and senses, we abuse them for food" is not my biggest line of defense.

My biggest lines of defense are:

* Dr. Kim Williams, former president of the American College of Cardiology, said "there are two kinds of cardiologists, vegans, and those who haven't read the data"

* Animal agriculture is responsible for 20-33% of all freshwater consumption globally

* Mass cultivation of animals increases the chances of pandemic

* 41% of mainland USA is used for grazing livestock, yet meat only provides 18% of our calories; feeding the world on a vegan diet could reduce farmland use by 75% or more

* Going plant-based for two-thirds of meals could reduce food-related carbon emissions by 60% (the way we produce, distribute, and refrigerate food is a huge contributor of global emissions)

* 70-75% of soybeans grown globally are for livestock, only 6% are used for human food products (meat eaters often try to claim that soy production is terrible for the environment; surprise, surprise, meat consumption is the main driver)
> the (very) common scenario is to get a couple warnings from your ISP and if you continue torrenting copyrighted material you will be dropped as a customer and banned.

This is not "very" common - the ISPs don't really ban you, they just threaten you. I no longer do this, but I extensively torrented over multiple home ISPs and they would send me warnings but they would never actually do anything.
I would be willing to pay the $60, for the app, no subscription. If the app works well, it is mostly bug free, and it runs on the current OS, there is no need to come up with any flashy features. As long as it is kept up to date to continue to run.

If a new version comes each year, I shall buy it as well. I have done that with VMWare Workstation, and Arqbackup, to mention a couple.

This is sad. Maradona was a distinct part of my childhood growing up in Eastern Europe where soccer heroes were practically worshipped.

Private entities have a right to free speech. Nobody has ever pretended that social media platforms or any other type of bulletin board system is a public utility. The government or any other entity leveraging the legal system to force them to carry content would be a violation of their free speech.

If you do not like the way they run their platforms Voat and 8chan are perfectly fine options. But larger audiences stay away from those platforms because they are unmoderated cesspools. Could it be that what the “anti censorship“ crowd really wants is a free audience?
> even using the same libraries for most of the functionality

You're wrong. Caddy uses a superior library that's been more stress-tested at scale in production: https://github.com/caddyserver/certmagic and https://github.com/mholt/acmez - neither of which lego uses. Bugs and limitations in lego caused severe problems for several of our larger customers.

The ease with which he played, and lived, was the stuff of legend. There's something tragic in it as well, since it probably contributed to his early passing.
The concept of the apprentice has come back into vogue here in the UK. It doesn't work eveywhere, but I know a couple of firms who bring in cohorts of apprentices in the same way they do with graduates. They use a local company to do the first few months of training and then have a continuous development programme.

A friend is a senior manager at one of them and he loves it, he's been really impressed with the calibre of the apprentices and how quickly they've picked things up.
It's not just handling false information. That is just a very small part of how the far left are trying to stop freedom of speech. How many in-person talks at universities have been shut down in the past 4 years? When people disagree, they call whoever it is a Nazi and get it cancelled.

Today if you post something that is pro-gun, or god-forbid, you support one of Trump's foreign policies publicly, your account on Twitter or IG will get attacked and shut down. Most informational gun accounts on youtube won't show up in searches anymore. I'm not even talking about the tacticool losers posting dangerous videos. These are the people trying to educate others on usage and safety. Because a small part of the country abhor guns, but they also happen to control Youtube, Twitter, Instagram, they shadow-ban and move along with their day.

If flagging false information was the primary usage of censorship, there wouldn't be so much uproar around it.
Yeah, we were getting crazy good results from our first $1000 of ad spend! Unfortunately diminishing returns set in pretty quickly after that, haha, but we had some winning strategies.
Naval Ravikant’s 36 tweets on Cryptocurrencies
Nah, I feel like “sources or GTFO”. If an article has a source then you can at least evaluate the claims yourself. But if the article is vague and doesn’t cite, then you have to look through science news or journals for things that “look like” they could’ve prompted the article, but you can’t be sure if you’ve found the actual source (which may be more or less substantive than the thing you do find).
Yes, I realized that (and I hoped by saying “hospitals today” it would be clear that I had read the article).

But I still wondered if my (and your) surmised interpretation would hold true. I think it is well understood (certainly is within the medical community) that hospitals are a dangerous place to be, though clearly if you’re seriously ill it’s worth the risk. But do hospitals pose a risk to their neighbours?

Why not? I would have gladly paid $100 to rent your bot for this one purchase so that I wouldn't have to go on Kijiji to purchase it for $200+ markup.

In the past I would have to pay someone to stand in line. This is just the new economy.
I don't see how you are disagreeing with me. It sounds from your description that your Informatics Engineering courses really are more engineering oriented than our Computer Science courses, which is what I would expect.

I fail to see how "lionizing" someone for their performance or their actions in a specific domain undermines all the wrongs one has done in their life. Sure, perhaps most people will only remember him as a great footballer without talking about the wrong actions he has done during his life, but a) most of them wouldn't have cared anyway and b) one can still see both sides of the coin and admit one's wrongdoing despite one's good performance or results.

I'm far from being a connoisseur about football and sports in general though, so I don't exactly know what this guy has done, but this can be applied to any man on this Earth.

The procedure is outlined in each service's SLA -- though I think they're all pretty much the same.

Annoyingly, they expect you to do the leg work to show when the outage happened and supply logs demonstrating that you were impacted.

Might want to do some napkin math first to see if the amount credit is worth your time. The couple times my org considered pursuing it, it just wasn't worth the effort. (Though, personally, I think that speaks to a larger problem with the SLA.)

> What we need is another category of transitional employment, with both much lighter regulatory barriers to turnover as well as more relaxed cultural expectations about job security. In the olden days we'd call this an "apprentice". Today it might be an "intern", but the general expectation is that only applies to very young workers- not those respelling or making a lateral move.

I agree that this is a good idea, but the market won't accommodate this kind of labor change without government help. Employers have been able to shift responsibility for training off onto other organizations (i.e. coding bootcamps) to get individuals trained and prepared for jobs. Nowadays, workers themselves largely have to bear the financial burden of training in hopes that they land a good-paying job.

What you're suggesting essentially places the financial burden of training and skill development back on companies through apprenticeship programs. That's not going to happen voluntarily.
One part that is different is that a human / mammal embryo is literally inside of another human, putting a strain on the parent's resources and health.

A bird embryo is much more independent, pretty much only needing some heat.

The address of the file is the hash of the file. (Really the hash of the DAG of the file)

So you could validate it if you wanted to. Because the URL _is_ the hash, if you did validate it you could be very sure that it is correct.

If a webserver hosts a file, how can you be sure that file is correct? Sometimes the ship a sums file next to it. At best this can find corruption, but it would not find malicious files.
Eh, don't bother reading any financial literature that other commentators suggest you for this competition. With anonymized input data and even the nature of the problem (is it even short or long term prediction? the two are very different beasts), you're not going to use any financial domain knowledge here. Besides, the good stuff is rarely if ever openly published. Just keep in mind two useful unchanging truths about finance here: it's time series data and with very low signal-to-noise ratio, so overfitting is a major concern.

Start by reading/running notebooks ("kernels") and winners solutions from this and previous competitions with tabular/time series data, building models and then grid searching, stacking, bagging, boosting 'em up. Here's a bit aged but still useful guide how pros do it: https://mlwave.com/kaggle-ensembling-guide/
I really want to do this, i.e. document basically everything I know for the rest of my life but I genuinely can't bring myself to have the attention span to stick to it.

Maybe it's the way the computer effects one's brain (I'm relatively convinced I have ADHD to at least some degree too). At very least procrastination-orbiting around that task has meant that I have a fairly functional set of scripts for blogging in LaTeX i.e. integrating the mathematics and diagrams properly is hard.

I'd never admit it in person but I'd actually love to have an ASMR channel to non-verbally ramble about the sheer volume of pointless information I have in my head.
I assumed it was about flies, because maggots would be all over it in a couple of days.

Edit: since the chosen location was besides the Tigris river, maybe the river fauna acted as a natural pest control. Less flies and mosquitoes absolutely would help hygiene.
It's presumably here because HN is not parochial and Maradona was a Michael Jordan level global superstar, with some claiming him as the greatest ever at his sport.
I'm not sure I understand your point. What's more acceptable and why:

1. Killing an 8 day old chicken embryo

2. Killing a 2 month old human embryo
In answer to the first: Because the information is unreliable without more invasive technologies ensuring that the local file is up to date. To the second: Perhaps not, but if the information on bad actors (app distributors in this instance) you'll continue running a compromised app.

Are you familiar with OCSP conceptually? I have done a reasonable amount of work with signatures and certificates, including OCSP. All my experience is in a commercial, enterprise context but I think these technologies need to start filtering down to the consumer before the capability for security evaporates.

I think it's a consumer-positive direction for Apple to provide this service. I would be interested to hear from someone who holds the view that this is not a service, or disagrees in other ways, but I think this is the right direction for consumers. The alternative, as I see it, is that every person installing an app needs to start searching for CVE notices and headlines in trade papers declaring a compromise.

Apple have applied an enterprise middleware to their infrastructure. I think perhaps they could have been more transparent in the delivery. A lot of the outrage now is driven by people only finding out about the underlying process for the first time. I stand by the right of these companies to choose their business model to disallow (or restrict) execution of apps they believe to be compromised. I also firmly believe in a varied and free market for software, hardware, and infrastructure.

In essence: You can choose to use Apple and do it the Apple way. Equally you can choose to build your computer from components sourced from anywhere, install any free OS, and any apps. Personally I do choose to do it the Apple way, and I am inconvenienced by that from time to time. I curse my computer and its creators on a daily basis. It's part of the relationship we all build with our tools.

See the comment above about Freenet, which does something like this; although according to https://freenetproject.org/pages/documentation.html#content it seems to prioritise popular files rather than rare ones.

IIRC eDonkey prioritised rare files, although I don't know if this was a property of the network or just a common choice in clients.
You clearly lack the political context of England/UK and Argentina, and what that goal represented to Argentinians.
With or without coke, that was a moment of liberation, and he alone carried the Argentinean team on his shoulders in 1986 when they won the World Cup.

One needs more than coke to do what he did in 1986. One needs to be extraordinarily gifted, only for the likes of Pele, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Garrincha, Messi, Zico, Cruyff, and Maradona could ever do.
I find it surprising how many people forget how much underlying business motives drive pretty much every action they make and how this is quickly forgotten by many.

No matter how much you value science and engineering, it ultimately doesn't matter to the business unless that aligns directly with their revenue stream. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.
