FDIC is funded via premiums paid for by member banks, not the gov. That's not a subsidary.

As far as the insurance cap goes, if the new plan is that the central bank doesn't need insurance because it can always print new money, i suppose that's true, but that is one hell of a subsidary and one that sounds scary from a fiscal responsibility standpoint.

Ask HN: Machine Learning Versioning
Hello friends

I am looking for advice and resources on versioning and managing machine learning models and data.

Thanks in advance.
Is "no e filtration of company data" an arbitrary "gotcha" policy?
Nicely written, I was reading as fast as possible to see how the story will develop.
It’s a well known theme and there are numerous similar stories, but this one had a nice human touch.

Thanks OP for making us aware of the great site (qnrm.org) since it has many other short stories.
With that logic, grown ups should be chewing each other's faces off in the street all the time. They don't.

So clearly there is something (morale, social pressure, threat of punishment) that prevents them from doing it.
We should just retire sociology. It’s all just human nature, and what that means is just obvious to everybody.
Man pages are not as detailed as ms docs.

I don't remember which command that displayed MAC/stuff like that, but they laked of details, and 1 colum had no info at all.

Meanwhile the whole structure was documented on windows.
Yeah, I noticed that, so it turns around rapidly. Maybe the "righting arm" torque overflows when it's much bigger than it ever would be in reality.
I think it is actually the other way around. These stories are often emphasised more in the media than they exist (the human element). It's also a popular meme to say sucess in science now has more to do with showmanship.

Somehow there is the expectation that someone can sit in their office write down some theory and the world automatically realises the brilliance. That's not how it works, you have to go out into the world present your work, explain it and defend it. You might call it showmanship, but it is an absolutely necessary part of science and always was.

There are many problems in science today, the resistance to just adopt new theories and the requirements to communicate your research are not part of them.

Bingo! It reads very similar to the GitHub repo of an insane person that was posted here about a year ago. The one where I think he/she talks of special agents and has a bunch of random files with random stuff in them.
Also, artificial intelligence is dealing with a lot of controversial issues. Things like privacy, data ownership, and discrimination. Government is getting involved. SF banned facial recognition, and both progressives and conservatives are accusing big tech platforms of bias. Having an internal ethics team they can claim is independent would probably be helpful politically.

My point is, the gap between competence and expert knowledge seems to be much wider in C++ among others.

I’m a pretty basic C++er but can use it effectively, if not efficiently. It seems, from the outside, in Haskell you need to know a lot more before even a basic level of effective use is possible.
Interesting use of tech but I think Mastodon/Activitypub is decentralised enough for most people. If this could federate with the existing platforms then I think its great - if it is yet another platform I don't think I'll be checking it out.

A GDPR Perspective – Cross Border Outsourcing for Businesses
As far as satire goes, this is not very biting. Nevertheless, the point is appreciated as LinkedIn becomes a professional self-promotion channel for certain types of people to project their take on successful career milestones.

Within my network though, I would say that the rank-and-file usually stay fairly far away from LinkedIn posts whilst self proclaimed "thought leaders", "influencers", and "makers", devote time and attention to the dog and pony show that LinkedIn has become; or perhaps was always intended to be.

Classifying myself and rank-and-file, I only maintain a LinkedIn profile as an online resume. I do not post, do not read posts, and do not engage in their click-bait emails notifying me about how I'm missing N updates from people in my network.

In my opinion, LinkedIn is to the social network what the corporate retreat is to professional life. A highly manicured, to the point of artificial, version of our day-to-day existence.

As corporate drones attempt to portray themselves as the ideal Stepford Wife of the workplace, I hope that posts like the parent continues to be written to point out the bizzaro world that exists on LinkedIn so more of us are reminded to not take it seriously and perhaps checkout altogether.
I think this is actually a monumental shift in the whole US political system were it to be enacted.

Because it drastically broadens the scope of actions the Fed or another CB is capable of therefor increasing its influence and importance. And keep in mind the people running it are not democratically elected and are partially private banks.

Right now the fed basically has no direct tie to the real economy. They always have to act indirectly via asset purchases from large institutions. They basically have one hand tied behind their back all the time. This unties that hand and allows them to interact with the real economy directly and not just the financial intermediaries.

Well, first of all how do you have access to bulk download PII?

Second, yes at FANG this meant you not only had to go around policy, but also technical means. And there's lots of training saying "don't do that".

At smaller companies it's ok to let PII flow. At FANG not so much. They really want to stop having EU fines and be dragged in front of congress.

Actually, I wonder how much better it will be compared to the now ancient PixelQi screens. I mean, those were black and white in reflective mode, but could display colors when used with backlight and had decent refresh rates already.

However, they typically had some glass front, which caused a lot of reflections and were somewhat dark compared to e-ink displays.

I hope the NXTPapers will be a step forward, but so far, most solutions were just considering different trade-offs.
Weren't blue-light filtering glasses proved to be with no known benefits? E.g. [1].

Personally, I'm very sensitive to light and get frequent debilitating headaches. Blue light filter changes very little for me. Making the whole screen just red with something like flux (together with my glasses that also block blue light) might help around 5-10%, but the migraine still comes full force (maybe 10-15m later).

Yes, that is human nature if we look at anthropological studies.

We punish it which creates a disincentive. There isn't any explicit anti-murder training we need to go through that's premised on a flawed understanding of human nature.

We've also made it so murder doesn't confer status in our society, which is the opposite case to bullying as per the findings. And that's rather unique to modern society, murder didn't always confer lower status.
Same. And the math is always in-intelligible gobbledygook. Probably my subconscious shaming me for managing to get my M.Sc. without taking Differential Equations and Transforms
I welcome the convenience CBDC provides, but I am absolutely against the abolition of cash. You don't need to be an economist to see that having no cash is a nightmare - every transaction you make across your lifetime is tracked and can be shot down by somebody that is not you. I believe that cash should always exist as an alternative backup to any convenient electronic system. With responsibility comes authority, and taking too much authority from individuals is not healthy for a free society.
just to footnote the quote since I didn't know what it meant the first couple times I saw it: It's likely in reference to an article and line in a video as part of the World Economic Forum's "Great Reset" concept.

I just did some science at college and thought DNA and protein cool and RNA the dull go between but now find it interesting that RNA may have been the original life on earth and predated all the other stuff. Wikipedia:

>...the evidence for an RNA world is strong enough that the hypothesis has gained wide acceptance. The concurrent formation of all four RNA building blocks further strengthened the hypothesis.

>Like DNA, RNA can store and replicate genetic information; like protein enzymes, RNA enzymes (ribozymes) can catalyze (start or accelerate) chemical reactions that are critical for life. One of the most critical components of cells, the ribosome, is composed primarily of RNA...
Currently accepted models of physics, aiui, don’t permit unlimited computation within a bounded space and bounded time?

Err, wait, I was going to cite Bremermann's limit, but that is for if moving from one quantum state to an orthogonal quantum state? Maybe that doesn’t rule it out completely if the computation is done in a way that doesn’t involve enough rotation of states to be able to distinguish?
Ok, but I expect that with enough math that loophole could be ruled out.

First of all, the chance that you are a simulation does not depend on the number of simulations in existence. In fact, there is no such chance, as there is no random distribution process you are observing, except you claim that every observer has one of finitely many souls somehow assigned to them. Such things belong into the realm of religion. But even then, either you are real or not. If you are not, there is no reason to assume that you exist in reality.

And then there is the fundamental laws of nature. If our universe is indeed a simulation, then it is either just an approximation of reality, or reality follows different laws of nature. In that case, again, it makes no sense to think of oneself as a random choice between one reality and many simulations, as oneselve's existence depends on one specific kind of universe.
True. But it's also true that giving an ultimatum raises the stakes.

Like it's not asking for o divorce to have an affair, but it does make it a reasonable next step for the other party.

Yea I've seen that they do provide ORM benchmarks in the detailed tests. I still find it very impressive - as a full-featured framework it ranks well above the rest of its peers, despite the ORM.

I am writing Django backends nowadays, but like I've mentioned elsewhere, I love its full-batteries approach and maturity, but I'm not very happy about it's meager async capabilities, and I think I'd prefer something with strong typing...

Also totally inflexible, you better have the right-sized screen/resolution: too small and you can't see that "ok" button; too large and you'll have a ridiculously small and crammed winform to fill/see your information.
They dont :), but unless someone is willing to take the risk themselves and stand up to defend Google, what is reported in the press will then be simply known as "truth". And it is their PR's job to do something about it. Although arguably not doing something about it is also a variable option.

Now I'm curious how the behavior of the people in the "first" universe, unencumbered by the idea of how affecting the machine's reality would affect their own reality, is different from the behavior of the people we see.
> The idea of these new CBDCs is to setup a similar system but where the digital currency could be distributed to individual citizens.

I don't think this is the point of CBDC at all. Individual citizens gain nothing with the ability to sell financial assets to the CB, and neither does the CB.

Looks like good riddance. Good for Google.
Well this seems to be fully p2p as in decentralised to the user rather than just to the server. That comes with its own problems though... Problems that don't seem to have many advantages over having federated servers. I would also like to see an argument for using this over a ActivityPub implementation like Mastodon.
Neither of which is acceptable. If she or her lawyers want their own copies of emails outside the company, they can apply to a court.
I agree Google & "Big Tech" enables them. How does Big Tech create them, though? Universities seem to be filling that role.
ROS stands for Robotic Operating System. It is a framework of different tools such as an abstraction layer, libraries, and a package manager that makes it easier to program/interface with different robotic systems/components. It basically simplifies a lot of work that you would be doing on your own. While it is extremely useful, it also has some flaws. For example, it is bloated, can be tricky to configure, and can be sometimes difficult in making it do what you want it to.

Productivity Hack for Reading Newspapers
I did the same at every job for the last decade - either work buys an Ergo 4000 or I buy an Ergo 4000 and clear it with IT (honestly that was one place, I did it out of courtesy, I just took the new sealed in box to where IT sat and asked "ok if I use this?" and they said sure).

These days I'm WFH forever and can use whatever the hell I want (work issues a stipend for hardware).

The Ergo 4000 is such a large part of my computing experience that I have a stockpile of new in box units as a hedge against their eventual discontinuation.

I've yet to have one die though, I wear the letters off fairly quickly but otherwise they are tough little beasts and easy enough to take apart and clean.

Trazodone actually improves sleep quality when you take it for insomnia. Oddly I looked it up and apparently there is no evidence it objectively improves start time for sleep, but it sure feels like it does.

Melatonin isn't too bad for actual sleep I think, but almost all supplements give you way too much - something like 1/3mg is enough. It does give me really bad dry eyes in the morning for some reason.
If you look at the source, you'll see that it doesn't really try to split the path into smaller primitives at all. It uses a simple algorithm (https://stackoverflow.com/a/33852627) to calculate the center of mass, and another algorithm to calculate the area (https://stackoverflow.com/a/33670691).

Both of these algorithms basically sum up the "signed area" of the polygons. This means that if you circle something twice, it'll count twice, and the sign depends on the direction of the winding.

The confusing part is that when the polygon is drawn, it uses the "non-zero winding rule" to determine which part to fill. So the filled parts of the polygons are all parts that contribute non-zero parts to the area (eg. positive, negative, two time positive etc.).

So the weird behaviour is that the physics simulation doesn't use the same rules as the visualisation!

So the nice thing about these algorithms is that it works for arbitrary complex shapes as long as the path has no self-intersections.

If you want to add support for self-intersecting paths, you need to decide how to deal with intersections. Presumably you'd want the physics to match the visualisation, ie. use the non-zero winding rule also for centroid and area calculations. To do that, you would first need to split the polygon into non-intersecting parts, and then calculate the area separately for each part, and then sum up the absolute values of the individual parts.

a concern I've heard of CBDCs and cashless systems in general is that governments will be able to do exactly that, and there wouldn't be a recourse to someone pushed out of the system.

I imagine that they couldn't be perfectly confident that they weren't just far enough away from the fixed point that their universe was the same as the one they observed.

If they do anything that scares or abhors the people above, they could be turned off. Maybe they're not even sure if the people above them are waiting to see if they only benevolently observe the universe below them.
