It's more likely they realize trying to collect on that money would kick off a protracted legal battle, which they might lose. Investors do have some protections, and a glitch allowing infinite leverage is a definite, absolute fuck-up on Robinhood's part, which might be exploitable in court, not to mention the bad publicity it'd bring. (E.g. Robinhood sues working family into bankruptcy over glitch in its own app.)

My favorite reddit search result story: I asked a question once on Reddit, got no answer, figured it out on my own, then added my solution to the thread because I've been saved countless times by the guy that does that on the internet and I wanted to pay it forward. A couple years later, I have the same problem and remember solving it but don't remember how, search it and find my own answer.

This distils down basically every quality of reddit you need to know.
All of the X73 classes were defining for me. Probably my favorite classes and ones that changed the way my brain works.

This seems like some stats run on the CIGB/ICOLD's database (world register of dams) https://www.icold-cigb.org/GB/world_register/world_register_...

And notably what they mean by a large dam: A dam with a height of 15 metres or greater from lowest foundation to crest or a dam between 5 metres and 15 metres impounding more than 3 million cubic metres

Imagine you are going to hire something expensive, and the owner wants a rental bond. So you go to a 3rd party, they set up a smart contract which automatically returns the bond to you 2 weeks after the lease ends, but the 3rd party can redirect the money to the owner by manually intervening.

The example is basic, but now the 3rd party can't take the money, go broke, take risks using your bond, etc, etc, etc. There is clear-in-code records of what the powers of the parties are and when things happen. You can prove where the money ended up.

This isn't an earth-shattering example, and things can still go wrong. But the failure cases have shrunk vs using paper. It is an improvement on the status quo.
It's basically a difference in emphasis between "Note that I didn't add this mistake." and "Note that I didn't add this mistake." so I'm not sure it's really a 'problem' you could point to with the grammatical device.

This is indeed correct. Wikimedia overall uses less than 2000 bare-metal servers, so yes the infrastructure is tiny compared to those.

What can be interesting, I think, is that you have a completely open infrastructure that has to solve problems on a global traffic scale.

GC: The short answer is that the vitamin-enriched pasta can be sold only in the U.S. market and some other countries like Saudi Arabia, Tanzania, Israel, etc., as far as I know. As to the iron-deficient bucatini, we concluded it was economically less burdensome to destroy the items here in the U.S.
> The problem is that "sic" has two uses.

No, it doesn't.

This is the use.

> and you didn't add a typo.

It is not restricted to things which might be mistaken for typographical errors.

> The common Internet use is to indicate "This is wrong. Har har you're stupid."

It's very common, for some reason, on the internet for people to respond (usually with displaced offense on the part of the not-present author of the quote) as if the standard use had that implication, but I've literally never seen a use which elicited a response indicating that it was taken that way for which there was any reason to believe that it wasn't being used in the completely standard way. I'm not convinced that the second use actually exists.
I've found this criticism and similar are sadly the norm with most modern internet products, platforms, web apps, etc. I'm sure some of it is resistance to change, but I can't just chock all of it up to that. Most of the changes on most big internet sites over the last few years have hurt UX and been contrary to user interests. Netflix, github, YouTube, Google, reddit, Facebook, you name it, they all are constantly making decisions that inhibit rather than empower users. it's the story of the internet for at least 5 years.
And they‘re building a new dam in Turkey which destroys large areas of cultural-historic land just to construct a hydro-plant with just 1200 MW installed electricity, just 1/4 of the power delivered by the new Akkuyu nuclear power plant.

I think there are more than enough books to learn algorithms now. But there are a very little amount of resources that teach how to use them to solve problems.
We're a tiny one-stop boutique specialized in machine learning. Our clients are exclusively large organizations because only they can afford our services.

Recently, we started building our "MLOps" platform (https://iko.ai) to reduce the overhead of doing machine learning and the proverbial technical debt that makes makes ML projects so likely to fail and so expensive. This will hopefully lower the barrier to entry as people will be able to use this to deliver value without being in large organizations.

I have been asked time and time again by people I know personally who have small companies how they could hire us to use machine learning, and I was embarrassed time and time again to make them understand they couldn't afford it.

There are many ways to "democratize" the field. Some publish books and courses, others create libraries and frameworks, and we made a system to lower the operational hurdles.

I think he is saying that a competition where both sides are allowed to bring a lot of preconceptions into the learning task is an interesting case where people currently beat the machines by a lot.

In my opinion the most important factor by far is avoiding ambiguity. This means sucking up to the binary prefixes and using them in every scenario possible.

A lot of people don't like how they sound, and would like for the standard prefixes to have one meaning, but the reality of the state of the world is such that you will create ambiguity if you don't use the binary prefixes.
It's a bit contrived but say both the icon and the text element are components. Now you need to find a solution.

It works now, because the network is tiny, the number of transactions are low, and the implementation uses a dumb brute force approach.

> actually getting a <4.2K environment would likely require siting your computer in the Oort Cloud,

Well actually you can just use multilayer sun shades made of sheets of aluminized kapton like the James Webb Telescope. It wouldn't get it down to CMB temperature but supposedly some of the Oort cloud is already down to 4K so it should be possible to reach <4.2K with enough attenuation by a sun shade.
I also love the TV show subs. And each of them has its own culture, too. For example, r/thesopranos is basically just a bunch of people discussing the series with quotes from The Sopranos. Makes me laugh out loud every time I read something on there.
> It's also interesting how the result heavily depends on the path taking during the gradient descent rather than merely the end result.

After reading just the linked article, not the original paper, my interpretation is that the kernel isn't calculated during the gradient descent process, but from the final model after training by gradient descent. If that's right, it's not path-dependent.
It's a guess, but my thinking is that previously most people who searched term hydroxychloroquine were mainly scientists and other people related to that not your general population. Suddenly covid happens and now large numbers of people learn about this new drug they never heard before, they are gonna search, and I presume this, most wildly different things like:
"how does it work?"
"does it cause some disease?"
"insert something political here about hydroxychloroquine"
"did aliens make hydroxychloroquine?"
and many more things I lack imagination to come up with and that's only about hydroxychloroquine. I doubt 15% number is about single word cases, but more about combination of words and that seems reasonable. Inventing new words daily seems unlikely, chaining them on the other hand seems plausible.
They started to show in the third iteration. People with a number of likes as if they had real friends, not bots or a carpal tunnel.

Each iteration took a few days because cheating manually takes some times to get into the high thousands of likes.

First of all, KMP argues that the problem does not exist in a lisp 2. This is obviously wrong, even though the risk is smaller. I would argue that a macro that acts correctly 99% of the time is still wrong. Lisp-2 doesn't solve this. Gensym and packages do.

Erik says that gensym and packages solve the same issue that hygiene solves - something I said all along. His main gripe seems to be with the single namespace, which most people dont see as a problem. If you really really need to call your variables `list`, then by all means: use multiple namespaces.
That's actually not true, its just that the days of the big platform are over. It took a big company innovating to provide the value then that small dev groups are building left and right now. Those leaving reddit (and Facebook and YouTube and everything else) aren't migrating to an alternative site, they're spreading out into a diaspora. You've got software like Lemmy and Ruqqus and notabug.io and others and people are using them. There are lots of attractive alternatives, not just one.

It's a very cool hack but I don't really understand the final purpose. What's an "eInk development platform"? I thought they would use the Kindle as a monitor and code on it, but instead they're left with an outdated, unsupported and under powered ARM SoC shell?

The "Future" section mentions replacing the display driver but even if that works out I'm still unclear what's the final purpose.
What mainstream brands (besides Rummo, which is good and thankfully widely available in Switzerland) would you recommend?
You mean instead of the pseudo LaTeX math-mode ? I did describe it in words first...

But, I will try to give a more succinct definition-in-words :
Between a pair of a (partial) function from one preordered set to another, which is surjective and order preserving, along with a pre-composition inverse which is both order preserving and order reflecting. (except instead the relations on the sets being a preorder, I'd rather it just be transitive, rather than transitive and reflexive).

Is that really more clear than the pseudo-LaTeX ? I'm not sure.
> I'm just not sure how I could have achieved that with, for example, Django.

Impossible.

Also look at startup time, disk size for installation...

But the real benefit is when you want to hack/refactor your code months or years later (or someone else working on the code): languages with strong type systems can help prevent sooo many error in those cases. Compare that to Python where many errors are only discovered runtime.
When compared to all of Reddit, sure. But not necessarily when compared to a high quality subreddit. And that is what you should be comparing HN to. HN is essentially a subreddit on a different domain.
Not 100%, but it takes orders of magnitude more motivation (and a nuclear program that would threaten your country if it were successful undoubtedly provides that) to accomplish...

There's a fellow roaming round the street /

Making like a young Sir Galahad

Everywhere I go I think he's been /
He autographs the walls around the scene /
If you look hard enough you'll find him there /
In rooms of public places everywhere

Kilroy was here /
Left his name around the place /
Kilroy was here /
Thought I've never seen his face /

On a short vacation with my friends /
I found I had time on my hands to spare /
Surveyed my telescope around the land /
And saw his name imprinted in the sand

Kilroy was here /
Left his name around the place /
Kilroy was here /
Thought I've never seen his face /

I wonder could he be a cavalier /
Or a roving musketeer /
Or just a dustman who's insane /
Everyplace regardless where or when /
The public poet strikes again and again and again /

If I ever meet that man at all /
I'll hang a plaque upon my bedroom wall /
A monument erected in his name /
Would help to contribute towards his name

Kilroy was here /
Left his name around the place /
Kilroy was here /
Thought I've never seen his face

It doesn't work that way, Karen. Or you think they should move their 300k+ SWEs to manually cipher through millions of blocked trash to find something that wasn't supposed to be suspended?
I feel like the author makes a good point, but it does not solve the original problem he was describing. The only reason why those websites disappeared is because the owner was no longer interested in maintaining it. It's a human factor, not a technological one. Even if they had written their files in markdown and git, the website would have disappeared anyway if they stopped paying the domain/hosting fees.

Now if you're arguing for putting the website source on GitHub, that's an entirely different matter. GitHub addresses the human factor by being entirely free with no effort required for site upkeep. That's why it's durable, it's not about keeping it as git and markdown.

>Look at it done correctly: tomc1985 objects that "[he is] one of these people, and [he] most definitely exists!"

You also need brackets around "exists" since the original quote had "exist". I think you're proving the point. I completely agree with the author that sentences like this are absolutely miserable to read. You can quote him as saying "I am one of these people, and I most definitely exist!" and, because we all have basic reading skills, we all understand that the "I" refers to the person speaking. Mangling quotes with unnecessary brackets is bad writing.

Well you've got to have a concrete metric to come to that number. And while reddit is still hugely influential, it isn't what it used to be and it's importance is waning. A lot of the discourse is happening distributed across the internet nowadays, which I personally think is a good thing.

That's a great question. Of course, you can express the computation as a function or a symbolic expression and evaluate it using a function that recomputes with greater precision automatically (or automatically compiles efficient code with bounds). Integrating this kind of functionality into the core semantics of a programming language is a very interesting problem.

The tech stack in front-end changes constantly because things change : new constrain (mobile), new possibilities (webrtc, WebWorkers), new expectations (people sometimes don't just want a document), new Frameworks that attempt to solve previous problems better (react), and new trends (material UI) that require not just a css change.
It's not perfect, but given how much the ground shifts below your feets constantly while you maintain your web app, I don't find the experience that bad.
Make an static html document if you need a document. Make backend code with a sprinkle of vanilla js if you make simple interactions. Use react if you need your app to evolve fast, do tons of things, and stay organised.
That's what I do for my project, ciboulette.net .
