Some of them make downloading more of a hurdle than others, insisting that you download a whole country, or figure out what region you want.

On MapOut at least, you zoom in too far & then click the tile you don't have. On a good network there's a little more friction than on (say) google maps, but not so bad. A few MB, never hundreds of MB.

(And on a bad to nonexistent network, it's golden to be absolutely sure that it still has what you looked at yesterday.)

Ask HN: Is Hacker News being manipulated by rogue users?
Again, as in the last two or three months, the dynamics of posts and comments getting on the frontpage and being flagged or downvoted in swarms, seem just artificial. What’s happening? Are we having live concerted trolling or social hacking at work, or the attitude of regular users is just going down without return? Merry Christmas, one way or the other.

I have a degree and I've never made more than $35,000 in a year, pre-tax. This is not uncommon.

It's more like this: the NBBO bid for a stock may be $10.00, which is effectively a worst-case for "best execution", which is what a broker is obligated to provide if I place a market sell order.

The broker may be able to route order that to a venue that will execute at $10.05; this is potential price improvement for the seller.

The potential price improvement is split between the broker and the customer. This is what "payment for order flow" really means. The broker routes the order to a particular trading venue in exchange for a cut of the potential price improvement, with the rest going to the customer.

What's worth knowing about Robinhood is a) they did not disclose that they were being paid for order flow and b) that they contracted to receive a much larger cut of the potential price improvement than was typical; e.g. other brokers might take $0.01 of that improvement, whereas Robinhood was taking $0.04.
I'm a long way from home and grabbed a KFC meal over Thanksgiving. I haven't had it since ... 2015, I think? and that was overseas.

My dad would sometimes buy it when we were kids, and it did hit the nostalgia buttons while also providing me with a few days worth of food. It tasted like I remember it. Sure it's fast food chicken, but it's not bad.

Although I guess when comparing it to Popeyes and some of the other fast food chicken offerings, it hasn't provided anything new in a while. Maybe they should try to get into the chicken sandwich space and try to market against Chick-fil-a?

I suspect this console will turn into a relic we'll see in videos 10 years from now, similar to the Hot Wheels and Barbie PC. At least it will probably be more useful than an Ouya.
Well, "Don't Be Evil" was a very successful PR slogan. "Framing in the positive" in another context.

Out of all the marketing that the colonel didn't like it seems like the current campaign would have been one he was OK with seeing as he was still alive and well when the Japanese statues of him came out. What he hated was how they destroyed the taste of his chicken and sides which have continued to become crap over the years. MBAs have made sure KFC will never be as good as Popeyes.

KFC has the most confusing marketing direction ever.

Their product has definitely gone downhill though. That's for sure.
> “Tail call” could be interpreted as any call from a function’s end, even one that adds to the stack

That's why he said "I assume that tail-calls ... do not actually use stack space".

Also, 'tail recursion' is more likely to be read by people as referring to a tail call to the same function as is currently executing, whereas 'tail call' refers to the general case.
I love it, really funny. It's great how the AI make a coherent critic, feels real.
Same. I had the good fortune to have my laptop (and youtube account) used as the communal music playing device for about a year in a household with really good music taste. Consequently my YouTube suggestions are excellent (much, much better than Spotify).
I've drastically improved my YouTube experience by removing all recommendations and comments from my YouTube experience using the "Remove YouTube Recommended Videos, Comments" Chrome/Firefox extension. Combining this with an ad blocker makes YouTube a joy. It works for me, not the other way around.

Sure, I may miss out on watching a few good videos, but I find at most I'll miss out on a good piece of trivia, at best I am more focused and in control over my attention.
How do you know that deleting your history does anything? I mean, yes, deleting your history hides what you've been looking at (from you), but does that restrict the recommendation algorithm? Is there a way to know for sure?

Clubhouse user here, it can add value if people are intentional, empathetic to others in the room, and have differing perspectives. There is something magical about co-creating a conversation like Jazz musicians improving a piece. When it works you feel a tangible energy that is it's own 'person', when it doesn't work it degrades into a mob. So the key here is curating people and making sure they have some common base of values.
> What we're discussing, however, is "striking a positive tone" in actual research papers.

Yeah.. that's what pretty much every academic does. Most talk up the merits of their work and the general importance of their field. The idea's to be constructive, always looking for avenues of improvement. For example, if you test a new medical treatment and it's not great, you don't trash it as a failure but rather focus on how it can be improved to get more positive results.

Though I'm starting to get the impression that you're reading "striking a positive tone" as meaning something other than what I'm seeing in those words. So to avoid talking past each other, what exactly are you seeing? And do you find it somehow problematic?
Stan provides both frequentist inference (penalized maximum likelihood with bootstrapped confidence intervals) and Bayesian inference (MCMC sampling or approximate variational) inference.

As currymj says, the differential equations (same for all the linear algebra solvers like eigendecomposition) can be used in defining likelihoods for either Bayesian or frequentist estimation. Same for all of our linear algebra operations and special functions.

Not every model that can be programmed in Stan has a well-defined MLE or proper posterior. Standard hierarchical/multilevel models don't have MLEs, even with standard shrinkage. Bayesian models with improper priors and no data wind up with improper posteriors, etc.

Having said all that, almost all of the use of Stan is for Bayesian inference.
To make things even more confusing (and harder to Google), 5GHz WiFi has its own history of contention with U.S. military spectrum use [0]:

If you're buying something with low liquidity (e.g. an ETF with low AUM or a small-cap stock) the bid/ask spread can be huge. When I first started investing/speculating I made the mistake of putting in market orders without checking the spread. That resulted in me paying $1 or more per share above the last quoted market price. E.g. the last market quote was $65, but the going ask was $66. After-hours market orders (even on large-cap stocks or high AUM ETFs) can also cause some nasty surprises.

> 1- Everyone needs to create their ALLOCATE macro

This is not an issue at all. It's one (!!) line. And the (huge) advantage is: Everybody can create their own allocation macros. Not all allocations are born equal: Some need specific contexts or arenas/pools where to allocate from, some want a specific alignment, some want zeroed memory...

And again, you don't even need this macro, it's just cosmetic. Better invest in some structure that reduces the number of required allocations to a small constant (per type or subsystem).

> and not everyone does it right

This is like saying, don't write code because not everyone is doing it right. This is almost the simplest type of code you can imagine.

Politics. Science used to be about absolute data, testing, and facts. When science sold its soul to politics and power, it lost the confidence of the masses. By sold I mean scientists holding back data (global warming), and manipulating data, (COVID), to support a specific political agenda.

The best thing we can do is remove politics from science before it’s too late.

After playing an album I select (usually soundtracks), Spotify falls into a tiny selection of 10-20 tracks that it plays on shuffle forever. It appears music discovery is incredibly poor.

...I'm also afraid to play something for my son, then the recommendations while coding will surely be polluted by that; just like if you play one or two kid's videos on youtube.
In my opinion, this is different: Google is hiring research scientists and telling them that Google would like to pay for their research. When hired, Googled told these people that they would be free to conduct research in their field without this kind of censorship. Now they are being censored, this is a new policy.

In my opinion, this is very different from a typical employee "talking bad" about their employer.

"Google’s new review procedure asks that researchers consult with legal, policy and public relations teams before pursuing topics such as face and sentiment analysis and categorizations of race, gender or political affiliation, according to internal webpages explaining the policy."
Still blows my mind that companies paying people >300k a year would make them waste so much of the time they are paying for finding and waiting for toilets.

Theres always been some level of astroturfing going on here, which seems pretty much unavoidable. HN has a very unique and in more than one way influential audience, so it's a relevant platform for lots of groups who want to push their agenda and whatnot.

But what exactly are your observations? Two trends I observed this year: for a while, every other post was a link to the nytimes, and now we've seen M1-related threads on the frontpage every day (?) since the day of the announcement (I may be over-dramatizing here). Other than that, business as usual?
A New Alternative to the Fast Artificial Neural Network Library (FANN) in C
An alternative to the already well established C library FANN has been developed; Introducing TFCNN it is a fully connected neural networking library in C with a small footprint, and as such, it can be included in your project via a single header file.

Being so light weight also makes it great for use in embedded projects.

TFCNNv1 targets any platform that compiles C code, it features binary classification, and a staple set of 5 activation functions, 5 optimisers, and 3 uniform weight initialisation methods. A CPU based Uint8 version is additionally available which can be used for training and classification unlike with FANNs implementation which cannot be used in the training process. Although this does come at the additional cost of casting operations and slow float32 emulation on platforms without native support.

TFCNNv2 targets Linux platforms and features a superfluous set of 20 activation functions and has a softmax and regular multiple classification implementations. Without going into too much detail, whereas v1 is vanilla, reliable, using tried and tested methods, v2 expands upon that by implementing more selection and in some cases, purely experimental options such as derivatives based on lookup tables where maybe they really should not.

TFCNN supports more than FANN in some areas and less than FANN in other areas and for this reason, I believe they make for their own specific use cases.

I do propose that one of the better use cases of TFCNN is for beginners, who wish to better understand how a classical neural network works without having to flick through too many different source files. This really is, as simple; clear, and concise as I feel one could make the implementation of such a neural network in the C programming language.

Cory Zue has made a saas django starter kit (https://www.saaspegasus.com/).
Counter anecdote: I've built up playlists full of tracks from good recommendations from Spotify. The genres are relatively niche and electronic (sub-genres of house, techno, uk garage, electronica, etc). The only downside is it gets a bit too eager to recommend the most played few tracks from a given artist, but I've discovered a lot of new artists this way though.
I came here to post the same. The author of this article really missed the mark with this conclusion.
I don't know either -- I understand in 32-bit OSes, as you need continuous memory space and that can be lacking (early Rust experimented with "segmented stacks", where the stack can be split, and took it out as it was too hard to do). However, in 64-bit OSes, just set up a GB of address space for the stack and be done with it.

But these templates you've linked to are frontend focused. Next doesn't really address the backend much at all. Most of what it does backend wise is to help the frontend (such as SSR).

Paper trading is definitely a thing, and there's plenty of apps that support it. The problem is people will never act the same with paper as they do with real money. It doesn't correlate at all. This is why Vegas odds tend to be far more reliable than polling numbers.

Don't have much to say about the rest of the comment but

>The spread on most trades is probably in the range of 50c on low liquidity shares and $1 on low liquidity options.

Is demonstrably wrong. The minimum spread on options contracts is $1 and the spread on liquid options contract (not SPY liquid but like TSLA or AAPL) is generally in the mid $10s and often hits $100+ on ATM contracts). Right now an ATM call on AAPL a month out quotes 4.75 to 4.85 which is $10 and the same on TSLA quotes 44.05 to 44.40 which is $35. Not a trivial amount, and it implies that the broker could get price improvement that is an order of magnitude more than the typical commission on options (~1$ per contract).
Put yourselves in their shoes: they see a blunt affirmation about a medical treatment, without any source, nor any clear term that can be easily searchable in pubmed.

Since I do not doubt that you only mention a treatment you're read about in a serious peer-reviewed medecine journal, or have first-hand experience with, I completely understand how hard it must be for you to be downvoted.

Maybe take the occasion to enlighten us even more next time.
The new iPad Pro and magic keyboard. Look into Tailscale, it makes it incredibly easy for me to ssh into my mac or a VPS. As for apps for iPad, I highly recommend the following:

1. Muse: awesome workspace app.

2. Ulysses: best MD app hands down.

3. Gladys: good clipboard.

4. Kodex: best ipad code editor.

5. Prompt: best ipad ssh client.

6. Working copy: good git client.

7. Kaleidoscope: diffing files.

8. Jira: pretty well done.

9. Documents: good for ftp.

10. Copied: good for bookmarking.

11. Goodnotes: best notebook app.

I’m seriously thinking about selling my imac because I haven’t used it since I got my ipad pro. I think I’ll sell it and build a RaspPi machine, ha.

This was fun. I like that the AI had a bit of a personality.

In terms of bad vs. good, though, music is like a lot of things in life, so subjective that you can't judge another person's taste. If for no other reason than people care about music to wildly different degrees. I've met people who say they don't listen to music. As in ever. Others cannot let a minute go by without having something playing in their head. It's akin to judging taste in food or recreational activities or movies. It's not really about what's good, rather, what gets a positive mental response.

That point aside, I'd say that what would be interesting is measuring how broad a person's musical tastes are. I.e., how much have they been exposed to and how much of that have they assimilated into their regular listening rotation. Pandora does a pretty good job suggesting artists I've never heard. When I hear one I like, I'll incorporate some songs into my regular rotation on Spotify.

If you must know, I have Bad Taste. The bad as in Hawaiian shirt-etc.-etc.-etc.... bad.
I wouldn't mind this as much if YouTube were better about indicating which ones you've watched. In theory you can just look for the little red bar under the thumbnail but they seem to "forget" after a while.

This makes it tricky to go through the backlog of a channel's content without watching it all in order. Sure, at first any random video will be new to you, but eventually you will start seeing more and more repeats, forcing you to start choosing videos more methodically from the videos page. Even then, it's tricky when the ones you've seen are not always marked consistently.

It doesn't seem like too much data to story for a company that offers gigs of free email.

The article says: "investors greatly prefer paying indirect fees, through opaque arrangements, to paying explicit costs". This is not true.

Investors prefer paying indirect, opaque fees to paying explicit fees AND indirect, opaque fees. They simply assume that they are being charged the opaque fees no matter what. As this article demonstrates, they are generally correct about that.
