> There's no ground truth result ranking for any particular query - if Google feels its new results are better, that's their business.

That's a real issue - there is no rigorous and systematic monitoring of Google's results. There could be horrible biases and we don't measure, don't hold them accountable. There has been a recent spat at the Google AI Ethics department where a researcher accused Google of being biased because it uses language models trained on biased internet text (thinks doctors are men and nurses are women). I'd say - before going so deep, first check the actual page results for bias, it's 1000x easier to do that and gives much more useful results.

> Also, IIRC, the predictions made by heliocentric model were less accurate than geocentric ones

> work of Kepler

Yes. One problem of the early Copernican heliocentric model was that it stated that the orbits of planets around the sun were perfect circles. It wasn't until Kepler showed that a) the orbits were actually elliptical and b) the planets speeded up when they approached the sun and slowed down as they moved away that the actual movements of the planets could be more accurately predicted. Until this time, the older earth-centric models with all of the epicycles were 'better', even though totally unrelated to reality.
An aside: this is great concept naming - "empowerment" for the channel capacity between sensors and actuation for an agent. It is at once relatable, fairly precise, memorable/recallable and therefore searchable .. instead of "PersonName's capacity" or something like that.

I'm not sure but you can do:

- smooth region borders (based on distance to one or multiple region centers with some the client being reluctant to report you in a new region until you are far enough from your current regions center point(s) to not "jump" back and force.)

- smoothing of reported regions on the client side (might incur some delay)

- user setting of region size (show that I'm in <large city> or show that I'm in <region of large city> or <small km² grid in region in large city>)

- white list which users can see the position (allow all, potential with 2 or 3 groups of precision).

I think by combining all of this a reasonable system can be created, but I would never go with a system which can report (explicit or implicit) the exact position (without a lot data and work) or which doesn't allow you to whitelist who can see you tbh.

Anyway this also means that the area would need to be calculated by the client (phone) and then send to the server which then might apply further smoothing/filtering based on the regions it's put in relation with.
That's what I read too.
The reason I asked is because "either the distance on the first frame for the case interface : False or the distance when the set depth button is pressed for the case interface : True" is not entirely clear to me.

When I was working on such a project, I had no way of correctly guessing the distance between the screen and eyes.
Tbh, I didn't think he gave that message. If anything, he even identifies the 50-50 model as a local "maximum" (i.e. it has value). To me the main point was to have a mindset that is willing to challenge the possibility of whether such an optimum could actually simply be a local one.

Ok but how confident are you that your business will work out?

1%? you just increased your project costs 100 fold by doing tests.

50%? you just doubled your project costs by doing tests.

100%? Ok you are saving money, but if you are that confident then why haven't you gotten investors aboard that are convinced that doing it well from the start is a business edge?

I think there is another side to this story which is that referral marketing is having a bad name these days. It's considered fraudulent by many sellers since sometimes these referral sites rank higher than the sellers themselves. I suspect this is part of an effort from Google to put the sellers higher than the referrers in the search results.

I apologise for replying with what is essentially a rant, but as far as we can tell simulating quantum mechanics is exponentially (in the precise, mathematical sense) harder than simulating classical mechanics.

I find it very "triggering" when people use this metaphor of uncertainty as a programming shortcut, when my life (currently working on simulating quantum systems) would be substantially (exponentially) easier if reality was classical.

I think this ignores the reality of the libressl support in nixpkgs?

I did a quick search and a few packages seems to depend on libressl, there are patches going into one or two python modules, qt4 and I see some patches are fetched from Void Linux. So my naive guess is that the nixos support for libressl depends on the efforts from Void Linux and possibly Gentoo. (I assume some self-written patches as well)
Could you specify which one they survive, possibly using "former" and "latter"?
> It really isn't. It was a hypothetical choice between 2 models, with ECC or LEDs, at the same price. Hypothetical because most boards don't offer the ECC support at all, and certainly not at the same price.

You're making a claim about what people would choose. If you have no related data, and logic could support multiple outcomes, then a claim like that is basically useless.

> You confused manufacturing costs, price of the product, and profit margins.

I'm not sure why you think this.

> Again supporting my statement that even if presented with 2 absolutely identical parts save for ECC vs. LEDs the vast majority of consumers will go for LEDs because they don't care or know about ECC.

Sure, if you don't tell them that it's ECC they won't pick the ECC part.

If you actually do a fair test, and put them side by side while explaining that one protects them from memory errors and the other looks cooler, you can't assume they'll all pick the LED.

When people never even think of ECC, that is not evidence that they wouldn't care or know about it in a head-to-head competition.

Do you know of any unlimited free cloud storage service? I know just one, that's being Telegram.
There's also the issue with control and monitoring, giving a lot more control to the Cloud Provider and total surveillance of operations to third parties.

I can see a future where only 1 cloud remains and all our tools and resources are on the Cloud Provider's Infrastructure and we cannot control or even self-host our own tools and data and everything we do and host is being monitored. If someone does not agree with what we store or host, it may be rejected and even banned/deleted WITH our consent (because we accepted the EULA) but without our authorization. We would not own anything we create or send to the cloud.

We would all become Cloud Developers, Cloud Web Developers, Cloud Engineer, Cloud SRE in our resumees.

This should be more open and not be driven by Vendor Lock-in.

There are (at least) two local, deterministic interpretations of quantum mechanics (many worlds and superdeterminism).

You are correct that Bell-type experiments put very strong constraints on such theories. If your theory is local it is going to be very weird.

One can determine their own rate of interest.

I mean, I could lend you 500 sheep and request 500 sheep + 10% per annum for each year you hold my flock. If you held for 1 year, it would be 550 owed. 2 years, 605. 3 years, 665.

With sheep, you might approach this by breeding them with the aim to produce more sheep than are owed, or selling the wool to buy more sheep or whatever.

However, we could also do this with a scarce and inorganic resource such as palladium ingots. In this case there can still be interest but you would have to exchange other resources in order to acquire more palladium to pay back the loan. It is still functional provided the market for palladium has good liquidity.

EDIT: for more clarity, you could borrow bitcoin with a bitcoin-interest component in order to acquire an asset. Then if you could get paid a salary in bitcoin as well, you would be able to pay the loan back.
I've used vegeta (https://github.com/tsenart/vegeta) on a couple of projects. Easy to setup and use.

IMHO how you load test is almost as important as where you load test and understanding why. There are three separate reasons to do load testing:

1) Performance testing. Confirm the system does not degrade under a specified load and find out what performance can be expected under these circumstances. This is basically ensuring your system can handle X amount of traffic without issues and knowing your baseline performance. You should get the same kind of response times as you are getting from live server telemetry.

2) Stress testing. finding out what happens when the system is stressed beyond its specs. How does it degrade & where.

3) Reliability testing. Find out how your system breaks and when. The goal here is to try to break the system and test things like failover and making sure you don't lose or corrupt data. Better to die gracefully then abrubtly.

If that's new to you, you've been probably doing it wrong because those 3 require very different approaches.

I tend to avoid having to do load testing as it sucks up time without telling me much if interest. I instead opt for having decent telemetry on the live system. It will tell me how it performs and where the bottlenecks are. I can set alerts and take action when things degrade (e.g. because of a bad change). Besides there is no substitute for having real users doing real things with real data. And in any case, having telemetry is crucial to do any meaningful stress or reliability testing. Otherwise you just know it degrades without understanding why.

There are still valid reasons to do separate load testing of course but I seem to get away with mostly not doing this. When I do, vegeta is what I reach for first. I find most of the need for load testing is requirements related to SLAs or otherwise nervous product owners that need to be reassured. They tend to be more interested in performance tests (i.e. the happy case) whereas technically stress testing is where you learn stuff about your system.
Yogaia.com | Backend developer | Onsite (currently remote) | Full-time

Established in 2013, Yogaia was the first live and interactive online yoga studio in the world. Reaching well beyond yoga, we live-stream over 100 classes a week from three studios, in addition to serving our customers a substantial catalog of on-demand sessions.

We are looking for someone with a solid background in backend development and who also is fully versed in server maintenance. You will be expected to take ownership of the backend and you should know what to do in the event of the server going down. You will also have a good understanding of server and data security, and how to mitigate any potential attacks. A background in DevOps processes would be a big plus.

You should have experience working with Python and preferably with the Flask framework. Nginx, MySQL and Redis should also be familiar to you. Interest in frontend development, AV production, video streaming, recommendation algorithms or AWS would be beneficial.

We're a small team, and we work in an open, collaborative and silo-less manner. To thrive in our fast-paced, ambitious environment, you need the ability to take initiative and have a very hands-on attitude to work. In turn we offer you a friendly, flexible working environment, a competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package including health care.

Our office is located in Espoo, Finland. You would be working fully remote until post-COVID, then at least partially onsite. You would need to be an EU citizen, or already have a working visa for Finland, as we cannot sponsor visas.

I have problem with Idea of lack of ownership. I have lived in communist regime in which secret services terrorised population with phone tapping, public shaming, making agents from your relatives, breaking families, turning careers to dust, while political elites lived in luxury and corruption was a leaders sport.

The proposed model for the future is obviously abstraction with same patterns in hand. People will buy it to some extent I guess but the idea of ownership is hardwired to our psychology naturally, ownership is connected to privacy in direct way, I cannot see how Bezos, Gates, Musk will comply with this. What will they do? Will give away all the money they have and live free of ownership? GTFO.:)

Telegram is not a business in a sense that it didn’t have any intelligible business model prior to this ads thing (which is not even live yet and this HN thread is the first time I heard about it).

For more than 7 years since its launch, the slick app, servers that instantly synchronize non-secret chats, and basically unlimited file storage were provided for free to use. Really free, no ads, no paid services. If you think about the amount of money that it all cost, it’s _insane_. So it begs the question: are Telegram’s founders really that kind of people willing to donate hundreds of millions for people’s messaging privacy with an additional option of maybe returning some of these money 7 years later with ads, or Telegram is just an elaborate FSB honeypot?

I guess we’ll never know for sure, but I’m more cautious about services that offer too much for free, not too little.

If there is indeed no way for aliens to "see" the chess playing process (precisely: to make measurements which confirm/reject hypotheses about details of the game), then the best model they can ever come up with is a black box where the outcome has given statistical properties.

Where the parable falls short, and a mistake often made, is to confuse one's own inability to come up with discriminating experiments, for an absolute truth about the universe's resistance to observation.

What would it mean for aliens to not ever be able to measure chess' inner properties? it would mean that aliens could never read human texts, or talk with humans, as any of those would instantly lead them to the truth. Which in turn means aliens can't see light, or hear sounds, or interact with things which would allow them to do so. Going further, we end up at the conclusion that either these aliens exist in a completely separate universe from chess (and everything around it), or they CAN observe it (they just haven't tried hard enough).

This post is confused, in that it first states aliens can't see chess, but later they can. If their sensors ARE able to measure chess, the scientific process will eventually weed out the worse models for the better ones and they will understand it.
If they aren't, then they will be left with the statistical random model, and that is indeed the best explanation, as all guesses toward the complicated intricacies of the game are equally likely and cannot be differentiated.

In the end, the post's theory boils down to one idea: "there is sometimes an underlying truth that is not observable", and it is a really weak one. Like the flying tea pot, it can not be disproven or proven. "Underlying Truths" that do not affect the universe in any way and cannot be measured, might as well not exist, and we should not attempt to model them. Everything else can and will be explained, in time.

I'm not sure I see a paradox, or lesson here, other than it is important to understand what the scientific process of model, hypothesis and measurement can and can't do.

the same argument is often made for magic, or spirituality, or any other thing people say is 'unexplainable' (which can often be translated to "something I don't want to think too hard about")

We used to think many things were magic (light, magnets, the world), until someone smarter than us came up with a really smart experiment which let us shine light into boxes we thought were black (bell's inequality theorem is a fine example).

The lesson from history is, if we look hard enough, we eventually get closer to the truth, every time.
it seems you've presented a single data point, yourself, and decided that this universally applies, which seems unreasonable.

I think most people's experiences of onboarding in new companies are somewhere in between, thus the tenure length provides another data point.

Furthermore, some hiring managers look for people that stick around for various reasons, e.g. hiring in that company is difficult due to bureaucracy, so knowing that somebody was at a company for two years vs 1 month is an important data point.
You're right, I misunderstood (overlooked the CRT part in OP's article.)
