FWIW, I’ve had the exact same experience. Started a 3 month Apple Music trial and was so blown away by the number of bands I’d never heard of and absolutely loved that I am ditching Spotify. I somehow found my Spotify account recommendations either recommending songs of bands I’d already told it I liked (duh!) or new bands that I absolutely detested.
That's where it didn't respond anymore, and I had to kill it.

The comments before were not enlightening enough, as I was music editor and dj on a local indie radio station, so it should be the other way round. The general taste sucks. Spotify's release radar only recommends shit, but nevertheless it's still the best to find the hidden gems. You won't find them on radio shows, other than KTRU or WFMU.
I burst into laughter when I hit #1. This article is surely long-form satire.
The other question I always had is why do we need to have a fixed limit for the stack. Why can't it grow automatically as needed, just like the heap?

If you want a glimpse of the average person's youtube experience, open the site in incognito and go to the "trending" tab.

It's a completely different site depending on what you initially search for when you start using it.

The problem is, 80% of youtube userbase never really typed a search query for anything in the first place, and as a result the stuff they get recommended and watch is pure shit.
By "Java" I meant the runtime, apologies.

I agree, that being open about that is completely key. When I was very young (1970s) I had a few female friends that I had no interest in dating, and they had no interest in dating me, but we agreed we were available to each other during times we were single and needed some sexual attention. It went both ways, and we always practiced safe sex. I would say any one of them hit on me out of need, over those few short years, as often as I hit on them. It was always discrete, and polite, and quite frankly, quite fun, because there was no romantic baggage. No expectation. Other than pleasure and release. And it made it clear to me then, that sex was as important for women as it was for men, but more fraught with risk. And if you could be cooperative on the risk (one word, condoms) and open about what the physical needs and desires were (learn how to use your hands, gentlemen) the physical aspect of it could be mutual and joyous.

Those years ended for me a long time ago, but they were important, for me, and for my partners at that time.
I had to do a double-take on that PC case, as I thought I was seeing a NeXT cube. I'd love to get this on [Streacom DB4 FANLESS CHASSIS - Newegg.com](https://www.newegg.com/silver-streacom-db4-mini-itx-media-ce...), but it is $389 + $100 shipping!
I like the way redux divide the code into actions and reducer. In my opinion the application code is clear with redux.

Off the topic, I mainly write in Python. I started programming in C/C++. I very often miss header files from C/C++ during Python programming. In C++ header files you have the full interface definition and it was easy to understand the code. Somehow, the redux and C header files are for me similar (in the sense of clear code).
It's basically a comparison of two functions. On the one hand is the overhead of needing to schedule and maybe travel in order to meet, and amount of time wasted by people in the meeting who don't actively need to participate. On the other is the cost of context switching, risk of misunderstanding inherent in lower-bandwidth communication and delay in understanding one another that comes from asynchronicity. Whichever is more costly in a given situation loses out. In my experience, if the conversation would require a lot of back and forth (e.g. complex or delicate topic) synchronous wins, otherwise asynchronous wins out. As async tools become better, the cost of async goes down, and it comes out ahead more often. It's not always the best solution, but it often is.

Towards the beginning of cryptomania there was a company selling room heaters where the heat was produced by GPUs or ASICs or something.

Look, you’re cold. You want heat. May as well help pay the heating bill.

Don’t know if they’re still going.
I don't think I understand what's wrong with this model. If I wanted to actively trade, I'd still prefer Robinhood's zero commission model, even if it meant that my buy price was slightly higher. $10 a trade vs. pennies? Sign me up, we both win. What am I missing?
I believe the main reason for including ODE solvers is basically to do Bayesian parameter estimation of ODEs from data.

likewise as far as I know, linear regression and mixture models are both done in a Bayesian style (a hierarchical model giving priors for parameters).
> Correct, as to my intent (I probably should not have capitalized the P). The taboo nature of facial tattoos is simply the evolution of a revulsion towards tattoos in general among "polite" American society. Until very recently, visible tattoos (and before that, tattoos of any kind) could be disqualifying for public-facing positions.

Thanks for clarifying; appreciated!
As reminder list this could be very useful, but practically speaking, without some guidance around expected answers with red and yellow flags this might not be all that valuable.

For example are there answers someone should actually care about, or are these questions to ask to just make it appear that you are engaged?

Do you have a data warehouse?

What if the company says, "No"? What if they say "Yes"? Are either answer a red flag?

What’s your P95 latency?

What if they say "100ms"? What if they say "5s"? Is either a red flag? What if they ask "Are you asking about first response, fist meaningful paint, largest contentful paint, or page complete?

This list would be great if you added some guidance around what might be the ramifications of certain answers. Even just something as simple as: "If the answer here is "No", you might want to dive deeper into such and such."

Keep up the good work.
Honestly, I switched to funkwhale and I'm not looking back. I prefer to control my own "sound system" like in the old times.

I have tried this before and generally the response to my issues has been "this will be fixed" with no further explanation that would allow having a discussion and thinking through the soundness of the idea of even letting someone other than the author take a stab at implementing it.

Even for critical things like the memory management strategy, no one other than Alex has any idea how it is supposed to work (beyond some references to Lobster). Even when it's pointed out that Lobster makes some concessions that V does not so that the memory management system can work, there is still no discussion.

The V community and team seem far more interested in generating hype and publicity than actually doing the hard parts of language design.

I don't actually think the community is trying to be malicious. If you hang out in their discord, they're generally quite friendly. What they lack is focus.

The language and canonical backends aren't anywhere close to complete and there's already attention bring split to build an x86_64 backend and a wasm backend. Neither of these are anything more than toys even in comparison to the C one. At the same time, std is lacking critical things like a map type that doesn't require your keys to be strings. And yet they're working on a discord client and a websocket implementation. V-os and v-browser are seriously discussed with promises like "we'll start on that after 0.3".

V is sort of the ultimate yack shave. The author wanted to make a thin discord client but first they needed a new text editor so then they needed a language to write it in. It's really only a matter of time before the next project comes up and the author leaves V in the same state as his other projects.

There definitely needs to be a "reset" button on these services, or at least a better way for your to actively monitor your algorithmically-determined interests and give feedback (I swear, you watch one SNL video...).

Another poster in the thread said you can do this by editing your watch history, which frankly would have never occurred to me as a way to influence the algorithm. It should be a more explicit feature for any sort of recommendation engine.
Clickbait headline differs from actual reality:

> Twitter has confirmed that the official US presidential accounts will be wiped of their millions of followers before being transferred to the Biden administration.

So, the official accounts of @VP, @FLOTUS, @PressSec, @Cabinet, @WhiteHouse, @POTUS, etc will have their followers reset to zero despite Biden's team fighting against Twitter's decision. Not his personal accounts.

Besides that, Spotify is now getting flooded with all those coaching podcasts.

How to flirt better. How to earn more money. How to be more lucky.

In the beginning there were lots of sex podcasts, seemed like everybody who had sex at least twice got its own podcast on Spotify, but now it's all filled with the generic stuff I already hate in the other places.

I think we're saying the same thing and I just butchered the original quote. having checklists of everything that could go wrong, real and imagined, with senses of probabilities, I would consider "knowing everything about". Or maybe its "knowing what you dont know".
Mine was wonderfully vicious too, though I am noticing we got some of the same synonyms (I was at 17%): "masters-in-creative-writing" instead of "please-read-my-manuscript" and I would much have preferred "walmart-hawaiian-shirt" over "tommy-bahama". That stung.

I've been working with golang and Nim for side projects for a few months, and well... I really like both a lot. Having coded in Python for what seems like forever, Nim is feels like the fast Python without training wheels I've always wanted. Golang, nothing bad to say there, either, but I like reading Nim code more.
I have been logged out and the recovery process through email does not work. Basic error caused me to never use it again.

I can start over with a new account, but I will lose all my bookmarked songs.

I have a similar setup, using an Amazon Basics monitor arm. There's a slight jutter in the monitor when the movement stops and starts, but the monitor always ends up in the same place at the end of the move, and the connections to the desk and the monitor are solid enough that I don't worry about it.
Every generation thinks they invented sex podcasts.
Same. My workplace provided me with a thunderbolt dock for home, and I use it to connect my work laptop or personal laptop to my multi monitor setup. Its easy to just swap between them.
Customize Twitter with 25 themes and presets
Hey HN I'm Jarod Peachey, a 19-year-old developer/maker.

A while back, I started getting tired of the Twitter design. I wanted something different, something that I could call my own.

It seems web performance is one of the least understood topics, even for engineers. Unfortunately even this author makes the mistake of confusing DOM Interactive[0] with Time to Interactive[1]. And yet this is a better analysis than what I often see repeated backed with no evidence.

For example, the myths about page weight and big SPA JS websites being the source of web performance issues is one I see so frequently here. Even in this thread others have started to claim the problem is all JS (take a closer look at the article). And it's good to see some actual data to back what I actually have seen optimizing many websites myself (spoiler: a lot of badly performing sites use jQuery).

For speed (which is also a complex subject that can't be captured in one metric[2]), the problem isn't page weight or JS frameworks, it's network latency[3]. Because you can't optimize the speed of light. This is especially true for websites that connect to many different origins (usually for different types of analytics services) and for many things related to the critical render path[4].

The issues I see most often are not the huge frameworks loading, but inefficient loading of all resources, especially those that will affect user-centric timing metrics. I frequently see many render-blocking CSS and JS files loaded which increases First Contentful Paint. I see images, script code, and other resources that affect below-the-fold content loaded before above-the-fold content and resources. And of course my favorite: above-the-fold content loaded with JS. These affect Largest Contentful Paint. Etc etc.

Of course we can all claim the problem is something else and collectively decide to switch to server-side rendering as an industry but this won't fix issues with web performance. Understanding how browsers load pages and how your users perceive the load will.

I found it interesting that direct calls (just calling one of your contacts) can be peer-to-peer if you enable it in the settings. They even have a unique code at the top of the screen (like 5 emojis) that you can verify match on the other participant's phone.
You're right. But they're probably learning a thing or two and will be better investors when it actually matters — when it's real money.

Seems like the big brokerages should encourage Robinhood "gaming".

Speaking of which — would love to see a game (does it exist?) where you can play at an investor with pretend money and real market day to say numbers drive your winnings.
ZFS is also extremely well designed at a system level... which is not the impression I get from BtrFS. (Disclaimer: I have not bothered looking at BtrFS for years because ZFS has handled everything I've thrown at it very admirably. Including complicated setups with RAID-Z, etc.)

Granted, there are some limitations to the design, but it doesn't affect my use cases, so whatever...
I wonder if Robinhood just got a -34 million tax credit. Almost similar to putting money into your IRA for the normal taxpayer.
s390x is another "live" CPU architecture, but it's a bit of a special case -- the niche of "IBM mainframe" is unlikely to go away any time soon, but it's not expanding either and the architecture isn't about to leave that niche...
Well, I'd be fine with Google putting its thumb on the scale in terms of how researchers engage in public press conferences/media releases/talk shows, etc.

What we're discussing, however, is "striking a positive tone" in actual research papers.

Spotify on the Mac has given me lots of little issues here and there in the last year. It's incredibly frustrating to have to restart it now and again.

I have encountered situations where I hit PLAY and nothing happens, or I hit PLAY and it says it's playing, but there's no audio, or I hit PLAY and the app says it's unable to play the track. Restarting the app seems to fix most of these issues.

There are also scroll bugs when browsing podcast episodes. The scroll position will just jump to the same spot as you try to scroll down the page, making it impossible to view the episodes in a series.
You're a former employee cum VC who has NEVER launched any actual technical product, and yet you believe you know more than an anti-vc startup founder with multiple successful products under his belt? Really? You actually expect us to trust your 'expertise' over his?

Highcharts is good, lots of demos with code on https://www.highcharts.com/demo

I worked in HFT building trading platforms and it would be virtually impossible for me to see order execution being off using retail tooling.

In fact it takes incredibly sophisticated infrastructure to do it. The kind of infrastructure you build if you are a market maker who would like to pay for order flow.

Even the SEC doesn’t have the capabilities to check execution rates for every order. They rely on audits of smaller subsets of the orders in historical reports.

That's just Spotify. The AI did a better job of figuring out what I like (138 and uplifting trance) than Spotify does (EDM). I blame it in Armin van Buuren: he is an extremely popular EDM DJ and he plays a very wide variety of EDM. If you listen to EDM chances are he has at least a few dozen sets you'd enjoy. That's the problem: he's prolific and he connects every genre of EDM to every other genre of EDM. He's a "super-connector" and I could easily see how this wrecks recommendation algorithms, all roads lead to Armin.

Basically: recommending music is not the same as recommending goods, and I think the same approach is being used.
If it doesn't work it might be because your privacy related browser plugins are blocking the Spotify requests. My privacy badger was blocking the request by default.
Yes, but I don't like the abbrevated term that much. I prefer the Kolmogorov complexity, precisely a discrete uniform distribution. It's not only important, it's the only factor.

Huh, I wonder if this is just a mad lib that is being used to gather information about people?

It's sayin stuff like "You know music existed before 2019, right?", but also criticizing me for liking Stan Rogers, who died in 1983, Jay Z, and Trevor Hall, who seemed to peak in the early 2000s.

Maybe I just haven't finished my coffee yet, but I was kindof hoping that this would actually use AI to figure out the musical variety of my listening history and suggest more people to listen to or something like that. Seems like it was just a bunch of mad libbed insults though.
This obviously isn't a real AI.

My results and text pieces are pretty much the same as everyone else's here in the comments.

It just fetches some playlists, fills the blanks in its text pieces and that's it.
Yes, we regularly use Stan's MCMC to fit relatively simple time-series regression models or item-response theory type models with 10^5 parameters and 10^6 rows of data on a desktop computer. It can take a day, though. It's much faster with variational inference, but that can be less stable and it doesn't give you the same uncertainty quantification because of the way the KL-divergence is ordered in the objective.

Stan can parallelize multiple chains and it can parallelize the density/gradient calculations in a single chain. But for the latter to be efficient, the chunks being parallelized need to be compute intensive, like you might get in a pharmacometric compartment model where you might have to solve a bunch of differential equations for each of thousands of patients in a clinical trial.
