I've believed since college that math is the worst taught of all academic subjects. I never had a math professor that engaged the class, and practical applications were never mentioned.

Even worse the language of math was never adequately explained. You were expected to learn the meaning of some new squiggle or greek letter by... its context? Symbols and terms you'd never seen before were just thrown at you without explanation. Definitions when given sounded circular or were given in terms of other things that had never been defined clearly.

I had one professor who just turned his back to the class and wrote things on the board. Students were meant to just magically understand.

I'll never forget in year one of college being absolutely stuck in calculus. I called up my dad and he tried to help me a bit, then he stopped and said: "you know what a derivative is, right?" I said no, not really. They tried to explain in class but it didn't click. He said "a derivative of a function is the rate of change of that function." I thought for a second and then said "thanks, now I understand calculus." I was un-stuck instantly. My professors never explained it that clearly.

Later on I took classes in things like population genetics and evolutionary dynamics. The professors of those classes explained the relevant math better than my math professors did to the point that if I'd taken those classes first I would have done better in the math classes that were their prerequisites.

Yeah the theatre in my small hometown has a full bar. Can order martinis as you watch (definitely increases bathroom usage.)
The naive $0 in this example is exactly the issue. Pet owners don’t notice the damage and wear (over a dog’s entire lifetime, substantial), so they contest it when they are wrong. If an expense is effectively guaranteed to be occurred, it should be paid.

Additionally, a landlord will want to work on the space more often than once every 14 years. A security deposit does not cover this.

Additionally a tenant renting for 14 years is making a suboptimal financial decision regardless of pet ownership. Much more than $15k would be unnecessarily spent, for many people. A tenant who wants to get the better end financially, especially a pet owner, will buy or at least keep the landlord honest about market costs of the rental.
>Is that any different than a stock though?

Nobody is claiming that stocks will replace fiat currency, though. In fact, it makes no sense.

Nice! But no. We don't need Black Mirror to be coming true. We really don't need websites showing adverts which, if looked away from, prevent the website from ever rendering - watch the advert or no website for you!

I understand the technical innovation here, but this can be abused a lot. In fact I think it can be abused more than it can be put to good use.

How does everyone else feel about this? How can this be used for good and evil?
I'm glad you're enjoying the sidelines. I'm enjoying that the $1000 I've invested in crypto has returned about $20,000 so far. Maybe it will still go to zero, who knows. I've already taken out more than I put in, so I don't care.

> You’d literally make more money today taking your cash and starting a business than dumping it in some of these worthless pursuits.

Yes, this incredibly vague statement is almost tautologically true. You can definitely think of a business that will make more money than some cherry-picked example of an investment that lost money. Bravo.
As someone who is attempting to employ weed for its bona-fide medicinal properties while having little personal interest in it, gatekeeping it behind the backwards medical industry would be extremely counterproductive. Doubly so for for a drug that the establishment doesn't have much experience with, and therefore won't necessarily recommend.

Our current healthcare system is a disgrace of paternalism and bureaucracy, amounting to a constructive denial of care. If anything many more drugs need to be made available directly over the counter - a consultation with the pharmacist should be enough.

I've arrived at these conclusions even with most of the costs being covered by Medicare (family member), good relationships with providers, intelligence/bandwidth to understand what they do, and now free telehealth visits. I can't even imagine the financial-bureaucratic world of pain for people on private "insurance" (or even worse, without) trying to get care for themselves while the system just milks them.

Sometimes Gruber calls people out for their bad commentary and it comes across as being superior. This time, though, this article was very much needed.

Moorhead’s article got a lot of traction, and ‘felt’ serious enough that a lot of folks would be dissuaded from the M1 Macs.
This is a good example of this kind of tech being used for good! I like it.
What's your experience with corporate internal processes been? Mine has been that they often exhibit an extreme disinterest in the judgment of external parties that are not part of the internal process. Whether or not the external group accepts the paper was likely irrelevant to what would be internally seen as a breach of process.

Generally "It worked out, everything's fine" is not a line that flies.
Learning conditional mean vs conditional median for superresolution might be differently affected by a large chunk of outgroup. That was what I remember folks talking about during this twitter feud. Or, like with word embeddings, where people have added some balance penalties to the loss function to make it unbiased in the presence of biased data. Dataset bias caused this, but dataset bias can sometimes be well mitigated.
Competition. And I'm excited.
I'm not defending the internment camps but they're not morally comparable. The Japanese were treated relatively well (compared to the Uyghurs who get tortured), were released afterwards, and the US has since apologized for that incident.
Yeah, it's harsh. But we're talking 6000x worse ingest performance for a database whose whole raison d'etre is based on ingesting high volumes of data - otherwise just use an RDBMS.

That's like making a car with square wheels. The only logical thing for management to do to a team who delivered that is disband them - because something is horribly wrong.

Now to be completely fair they do get good ingest performance if you open thousands of connections to send the data over. So they can probably fix it. I still wouldn't touch it with a stick though, that's not the only issue they have at present.

I wish Microsoft would "crush" me to the tune of $27billion...
This looks like the same article that was posted a couple weeks ago.
Everything started making sense after I thought of "store" as "enable", and I made it to the end pretty quickly after that --- except for the "bonus" multiplier level, which is definitely possible but seems like it would take about 10x as much space as the canvas allows.
EY intentionally delays green card applications for some immigrant workers. This gets them an extra 3 years of labor from workers who won't complain about 70-hour weeks and won't ask for raises or promotions.
I almost can't believe we are talking about this now. I mean that in the sense of, I have built applications every possible way - when you work in a big company and inherit one of everything, you have to do that often.

In my past, I built one application that was fully database driven, and at the time (2004-2005) it would have been difficult to pull off without stored procedures and table driven logic - fully maximizing the power of SQL - especially in the timeframe I had to do it (<3 months). I mean, I pushed the technology HARD (expert system for fraud detection that worked hand-in-hand with basic machine learning).

I will never forget how I was derided by people for that choice - even though, that system is still running today and working well, in the bowels of an acquirer. I mean, literally, I was derided to the point of getting imposter syndrome for feeling that I made a choice that others regarded as so limiting.

The truth is, I learned everything else about distributed applications and databases because of being derided in that way. Ultimately, I now know how to architect things many different ways and can choose when I feel it is appropriate. I also know not to let the negativity of others prevent success.

I am not sure the moral of this story. If you can build a system, and it serves its purpose well and for a long time, and it works and provides the needed value.. it really may not matter. But, you can choose sometimes, and if there is one truth it must be that there is not always only one way to do something. Try to pick the right tool for the job as best as you are able.

Don't think you're dumb just because other people don't like your idea. Keep your mind open, and be willing to learn, but if you can make it work, and prove it works, you are just as right as anyone else.

Maybe that's the moral of the story.
> You're still missing the crux of the matter. You can't disapprove of something you don't know about.

Well, it sounds like the regulation you might want is something that oDot could also live with: a requirement for full disclosure and clear labeling, but not a ban on anything.
Falsely screaming racism and sexism at everything hurts people who are actually impacted.

They have a screen describing privacy.

You can click and see the privacy policy.

And then the privacy policy is actually pages and pages and pages of pointers to individual sub-privacy policies.

and there is no "I agree", they just show you all this.

You can opt out of some things later, but already they're a token gesture.

Is the implication that monetary and fiscal policy also not driven by economic feedback loops? Of course they are; just different ones.
The emails aren't just one way. I don't see the emails in my sent items, but when the receiving party replies (his boss) I see the original email that was sent from my old email address.

The party invite was from a real person, not those evite sites.

I can no longer login to the old account and my recovery options no longer work.

While yes, the possibility of a hacked account crossed my mind, but Gmail is pretty loud when someone logs in from a new ip.

The M1 beats low end desktop GPUs from a couple of generations ago (~25% faster than the 1050ti and RX560 according to this benchmark [0]). Current high end GPUs are much faster than that (e.g the 3080 is ~5 times as powerful as a 1050ti).

Don't get me wrong - this is still very impressive with a ~20w combined! power draw under full load, but it definitely doesn't beat mid - high desktop GPUs.

(This is largely irrelevant for video encoding/decoding though as you can see - as that's mostly done either on the CPU or dedicated silicon living in either the CPU or the GPU that's separate from the main graphics processing cores.)

5nm process would help a lot.
Nobody wants a phone that doesn't allow them to add a third party app. They tolerate it due to lack of choice because the device still provides exceptional utility.

Why is it so hard to understand?

I like my iPhone. I worked at Apple. I still recognize its limitations. I'm not going to go without a phone to make a point to a $2 trillion company.
What I'm trying to say is you'll not see a laptop that resembles a Macbook - silent, slim, light, with day-long battery life and top performance, with Zen CPUs anytime soon. It's simply outside the performance envelope. 35W vs 10W is a huge difference, even before you account for the slow cores / fast cores architecture vs frequency boosting.

For the record, in reviewing HN conversation tonight I saw this and realized it was an incorrect quote of the article. Totally honest mistake I'm sure, but I wanted to set the record straight.

We spent a little over a week working at Timestream benchmarking. Trying different approaches to batching metrics for ingest, threading differently, running multiple EC2 instance, etc. to improve performance.

Once we felt like we were getting the best we could, we started our final ingest which we let run for nearly 40 hours (~2 days).

The other value is absolutely correct, however. We were able to ingest 1 billion metrics into Timescale in 5 minutes.
Stage one is feeling comfortable around the other person.

Besides, conversation is generally held during the "dinner" part of the canonical "dinner and a movie".
Would you share the identities of the reviewers, if the author has a history of attacking anyone who disagrees with them??
> Additionally, you are still welcome to make that trade-off for yourself. Regulation requires that you are informed and in some cases consent to data-gathering. It does not require it to not exist.

Nobody mentioned yet what kind of regulation they are talking about.

I reckon oDot was objecting to an outright ban, but would accept a disclosure requirement.
This is correct, but clarifying the last sentence, you go back to 15% the year after.

"Why do kids have to be restricted but not adults "

Maturity. But I also want to restrict children as little as possible, so they can learn to deal with freedom and self responsibility as soon as possible.

Up to the point, that they fully take responsibility over their body and life. I don't think that this automatically happens at 18 or 21.

rebuilding query plan takes less than 50ms and is routinely done by the engine itself without you ever realizing it.

what you probably wanted to mention is table statistics - but they are cleared only if you truncate your table, but then again - once you populate your table - the engine will recalc statistics by itself.

overall RDBMS does a lot of stuff behind the scenes for you, and you should take advantage of it, and instead think about more important atuff - business logic, data modeling, schema evolution, etc
If I understand correctly, this can't be used on OpenWRT right?

That's a possibility. Thank you for sharing @ApolloRising
Bezos wants you controlling everything from AWS, be that your own servers with GreenGrass or GCP/Azure through managed Kubernetes.
You can walk into a store, buy a Zen 3 processor right now (if you're lucky, they're in high demand), fiddle with the clocks and voltages to simulate (poorly) a laptop chip, and notice that, right now, at the same power, a Zen3 core at 7nm HPP is comporable in single core performance to a single M1 big core on 5nm LPP.

So right now we know that Zen 3 is more or less equivalent or even ahead in architectural power efficiency. You do have to wait for 5nm LPP to see it pull ahead or use it in a laptop, yes. But the statement that M1 is well ahead of the competition is clearly false. It's competitive.

As for multicore performance, it's already matched by Zen 2 parts.
Please see below for correction... but at some point today a poster said "~2 weeks" for Timestream... but that's incorrect. We ran the data load/ingest for "~2 days" (40 hours).

Just want to make sure the right numbers are being used! Thanks!

I agree there's a lot of work to be done! What do you suggest folks who are interested in helping to solve the problem do if not researching solutions or trying to economically scale existing ones by working at the companies which are doing that?
Agree. He is an Apple guy. He delights when Apple does cool stuff. Sometimes he takes Apple’s side on debatable subjects. But he has no issue calling Apple out when he thinks they are doing wrong. It’s unfair to call him a shill.

TensorFlow announced their new Facial Landmarks model gained
Iris features last month[1]. There's an online browser-only demo[2]. Note that this model doesn't say where the user is looking, it just extracts 2d locations of iris & surrounding face.

Older software like WebGazer.js[3] provides more complete apis, reporting where on the screen someone is looking.

The approach here seems to be server side. I wonder what tech they are using under the hood.

Conda installs conda packages and conda uses pip to install pip packages. However a pip package can be converted to a conda package, and then in that case the dependency will be installed by conda and not pip.
