The book Programming Ecto [1] also has a chapter on application design which talks about contexts.

This implies a lack of rigorous training. In the physical sciences, one wouldn't become an applied scientist without conducting an experiment to test a phenomenon, and the teeth gnashing that goes with making that experiment work.

Those who have been fed pristine data without having to undergo the trials and tribulations of actually having to collect the data have missed a crucial part of scientific training. Like you, I find this lack of rigour is rather common among data scientists. Not all, but quite a few.
Congrats to José and the team! Elixir was a wonderful discovery for me a year or two ago — it's the closest I've found to my "ideal" language. You can tell, from the documentation and by using the language, how much thought went into each design choice.

Good luck on the next ten :)
Yes, this is part and parcel for most cars now, even the cheap brands come with ridiculously expensive headlight assemblies, that are also completely not user serviceable. The LED revolution should have resulted in cheaper headlights, not more expensive ones. Fortunately my car still has a regular bulb and zero electronics outside of the ECU and the radio.

Ask HN: How Compilers Are Stable?
There is a lot of compilers for a lot of languages. I don't remember having trouble using any of the compilers I've used. On the other hand, (almost) every other software I've used have crashed one time or more. My question is : how compiler devellopers do for making bug free compiler ? How is it possible ? is there anything that give a proof that a compiler is stable ? In other words, is it possible to have a bug in a software produced a by a compiler flaw rather than by a bad coding ?

On the other hand, decentralised filtering out of objectionable content might go hand-in-hand with replicating and thus preserving the most valuable content. Empirically, 90% of the content in most decentralized systems (e-mail, the Web etc.) is worthless spam that 99.99999% of users or more (a rather extreme majority if there ever was one) will never care about and could be eradicated with no issues whatsoever.

I suspect this may actually be an issue of school vs real world rather than scientist vs engineer.

Data in the classroom setting is pristine and beautiful; data in the real world is messy and buggy. You have to get burned by buggy data a few times (or maybe a bunch of times) in the real world to learn to look for bad data smells -- I don't think schools effectively teach this kind of intuition, regardless of whether the students are training as data engineers or data scientists.

If data scientists are spending more time in school getting advanced degrees, they're not getting as much exposure to buggy data, whereas data engineers with a BS and a few years of industry experience would already have built up this skill.
Isn't Facebook dependent on backbone service providers at their data centers? Are those vendors at liberty to discontinue service?

Edit: For a multitude of reasons - money, money, and money - I don't expect any vendors would discontinue service with Facebook. The question is more of a thought exercise.
There's a lot of space between "what violates the law" (or explicit ios/play store Terms of Use for that matter) and "what will get you kicked off twitter" and I believe Parler operated in that space. Users could post stuff that would get them booted off twitter, but that was legal speech. This was fine with iOS & play store & AWS until they all simultaneously and independently (wink wink) realized it violated their terms of use. Unless we grant that this had nothing to do with newly discovered terms of use violations, it was crushing Parler in reaction to a change in the political winds (read: this is what happened).

> Guns are mostly used to kill people.

That’s an incorrect statement. Let’s look at the evidence.

More than 50 million Americans engaged in some kind of recreational shooting in 2018 [0]. Compare that to 14,000 gun-related homicides across the country in the same period [1], mostly in certain high-crime communities [2].

The CDC estimates there are between 500,000 and 3 million instances of defensive gun use in the US each year [3]. They also found that cases of self-defense where the victim used a gun resulted in less injury to the victim, on average, than in cases where other self-defense strategies where employed.

There are also obvious downsides to a society with permissive gun ownership, but overstating the case for gun control doesn’t move the discussion in a positive direction.

This rings true from my experience as a data scientist for a non-tech compay. I spend more time doing expectation management than ML work. This seems to hold true whether we're trying to use ML on a new and novel problem statement, or trying to reproduce some published application or supposed solution a competitor claims to have.
It just has to become more [power]user-friendly and concentrate on making as great CPUs and chip-sets as possible rather than on how to make people's life harder and extort additional money for every feature you reasonably want.

Every CPU should support multiprocessor configurations, every CPU should support ECC memory and VT-x, upgradability should be maximized (so you wouldn't necessarily need a new mainboard for a new CPU), the socket and the instruction set should be licensed to as many competitors as possible. Like in good old 90ies.

Wouldn't that just be essentially upvoting and downvoting and deleting downvoted posts?

That was originally the intent of reddit, that people would downvote unconstructive comments, but that quickly turns into the community "moderating" away anything they disagree with, and enforcing an echochamber.

I don't think communities can have enough objectivity to effectively moderate themselves.
Learning Elixir and starting to use is in projects is at the top of my TODO list for 2021. I tried to get into a while back, but being unfamiliar with functional programming concepts at the time really got me. Learning a new language and trying to grep FP at the same time was too much for me :)

Now, I'm more well versed in FP in general, and I'm excited to give it another go! Everyone I've talked to who uses Elixir on a regular basis or professionally absolutely gushes with excitement and joy when they talk about it!

Well done, and thank you Jose!
Arguing for jail, aka literally locking a human being in a cage, for any non-violent offense, let-alone getting hacked because your employees mad a mistake, is mindblowing to me.

I'm as irritated as you at data leaks from negligence, but jail? I thought jail was not supposed to be for "punishment" but rather to protect the public from someone too dangerous to allow free, and even then it should mainly target "rehabilitation."

You're now talking about using it clearly just for punishment (which I would argue we do all over the place, totally inconsistent with it's stated purpose). This is before we discuss whether jail is torture. Even if the "jail" is well regulated to prevent thing like violence and sexual abuse, it's terrible to lock a person in a cage. There are plenty of studies about the effects that has on a person's mind. Then you consider that you're soft blackballed from employment (and therefore society) when you get a "record" and can't pass a background check, and that the positive feedback loop leads to a life of poverty, crime, and suffering that is avoidable.

Please consider the significance of what you are arguing for here.
Your first sentence says "please don't spread false information."

>Tesla is not a car company. It is much much more than that.

What are they doing that makes them so much more? Are they really that different than Toyota,GM,Ford,VW? I'm sure they have some differences but at the end of the day there is no wide moat that any of these other manufacturers can't cross.

They all make vehicles and Tesla certainly got a jump on the others with EV's. With that said, I hope they keep innovating and are super successful and drag the rest of the Industry forward.
But I'm not Elon Musk, and I'm not super rich and successful, so therefore I am real and he is as well and not a simulation. I don't know what things are like your simulation, however.

The rationale is the same as yours, but considering the fact that other people will hype-buy it anyway so the price will climb.

It has nothing (or little) to do with industrial considerations. It's all about Mr. Market.

Not all tools are alike. Taylorism in particular was based around, yes, a bunch of empiracism, but also trying to understand the production process in greater detail. The modern ML seems more like the modern MBAism where the details are considered beneath management. That would have been antithetical to Taylor, who was all about how the sausage is made.

They announced the acquisition in 2019 but it had to get regulatory approval first. A lot of people expected regulators to reject the acquisition.

I consider it a massive failure of our governments that whilst acknowledging Google is a monopoly and engaging in antitrust cases against them, they also permitted Google to buy a multibillion dollar company that will expand their monopoly.
Parler rented all their infrastructure from companies that get to choose how their infrastructure gets used. Private companies can run themselves as they please.

Facebook owns all their own infrastructure and gets the final say on how their infrastructure is used. Private companies can run themselves as they please.

If you violate the terms of your rental agreement, your landlord gets to kick you out. If you can't afford to own your own infrastructure, you answer to those who do.

As someone that had to handcraft client-side browser experiences in the early 2000's (think drag and drop, elements of single page applications, etc.), I basically had to write two versions of everything in order to support Netscape and IE. It was tremendously interesting because I was building things that you really didn't see out in the wild at the time. It was also tremendously frustrating dealing with DOM and feature differences.

It's hard to overstate the impact of jQuery. It more than doubled my productivity due to removal of much of the duplicated work AND the general streamlining of DOM manipulation. As someone who was also neck deep in XML and XSD, the element selection syntax also felt reasonably familiar and comfortable.
This wouldn't happen. Even from a pharmaceutical company's viewpoint, their regulatory body comes down on them like a ton of bricks if too many people suffer injury from their products.

So pharmaceutical companies and other medical product manufacturers manage their risk by only selling to approved suppliers, so that they don't have people randomly putting themselves at risk using their products.

Having a sinecure from which you can make forays into new ideas is far from the reality of most jobs. It is more akin to the "gentlemen scientists" of yore. Whether this is actually a good way to stimulate knowledge accumulation seems like something that should be studied rather than assumed.

It's mostly about 'principal use'. Parler's principal use seems to have been to give the extreme right a place to congregate. Facebook does not have that as principal use so it is more of a sideshow.

> Censorship resistance means that anybody can say anything, without suffering consequences.

I can't even get to the heart of the poster's argument. That's because the shitty state of all current social media software defines "anybody" as:

* a single user making statements in earnest

* a contractor tacitly working on behalf of some company

* an employee or contractor working on behalf of a nation state

* a botnet controlled by a company or nation state

It's so bad that you can witness the failure in realtime on, say, Reddit. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has skimmed comments and thought, "Gee, that's a surprisingly reaction from lots of respondents." Then go back even 30 minutes later and the overwhelming reaction is now the opposite, with many comments in the interim about new or suspicious accounts and lots of moderation of the initial astroturfing effort.

Those of us who have some idea of the scope of the problem (hopefully) become skeptical enough to resist rabbit-holes. But if you have no idea of the scope (or even the problem itself), you can easily get caught in a vicious cycle of being fed a diet of propaganda that is perhaps 80% outright fake news.

As long as the state of the art remains this shitty (and there are plenty of monetary incentives for it to remain this way), what's the point of smearing that mendacity across a federated system?
> This is similar to newspapers who claimed that having links to their site, violates copyright.

No newspaper has claimed that ever to the best of my knowledge, and it would make absolutely no sense to. What's being criticized is so-called "rich linking", ie. previewing content such as Wikipedia articles from search engines or news articles from aggregators without taking viewers to the primary source/site. People having a radical anti-copyright agenda have conveniently named this "rich linking" to dilute the discussion, as have news aggregators to downplay the issue.

As an aside, the way the EU copyright reform is being formulated into national law in Germany has been criticized as outright contrary to the whole purpose of the reform, and coming straight from pro-Google lobbyists [1].

This is uncharitable.

In my experience, this is true:

> "data scientists" are expected to be the equivalent of full-stack engineers (or maybe more accurately: one-man CTO shops)—to understand data architecture, understand business architecture, ensure data quality, build data into product, build dashboards, derive insights, posit hypotheses, set strategy, and drive business value.

But this is not:

> Thus many "data scientists" are juiced-up report-builders who can't analyze their way out of a paper bag.

Rather, the data scientists are trained in only two of the requirements you mentioned: derive insights, posit hypotheses. The rest is all self-study and on-the-job experience. This means that we are putting unrealistic expectations on data scientist and/or their training is insufficient, not that data scientists are somehow morons.
You can cut off a large part of abuse by just creating a financial based incentive. Pay to gain access, and access can be revoked at which point you need to repay (perhaps on a progressive scale - ie the more you are banned, the harder it is to get back in.) Your identity confers a reputation level that influences filters so what you post is seen more often, so there is value in your account and you don't want to lose it. The SA forums did this and it helped immensely with keeping out spam (though not a silver bullet.)

Any system where any rando can post any random thing with no gates is going to be much more of a slog to moderate than one where there are several gates that imply the person is acting in good faith.
> At no time did I see even a single post advocating violent overthrow of the government, white supremacy, etc. Apparently, neither did any of those planning the Capital attack, since they were not Parler members.

how do you reconcile this opinion with the reporting that uses gps data from the parler data dump to place parler users at the protest and in the capitol building?
