Sorry to do this here, I know it’s not Amazon support. Is there a way to copy S3 objects from bucket to bucket without sending them through the compute that’s doing the copying?

From the article:

> The military cannot make the vaccines mandatory now because they have only emergency use authorizations from the Food and Drug Administration, meaning service members who are required to receive a series of other vaccinations have the option of declining shots to protect against Covid-19.

Vaccine clinical trials excluded people who had already recovered from Covid. We know that T-cell immunity is effective and long-lasting against a range of coronavirus variants, unlike specific antibodies whose duration of protection may be limited. What is the estimated percentage of Marines (or even the general population) who have already had Covid and recovered, whose naturally acquired immunity may be better than any vaccine?
Show HN: Nerdogram – The Photo Sharing App Exclusive to GitHub Nerds
Yeah, that's how we got most of our Internet access here in Czech Republic, starting ~2005. The monopolistic telecom company was totally incompetent so people banded together, bough some upstream connectivity and the connected themselves to that link via wireless point to point links using commodity WiFi hardware with directional antennas.

Since them most of these networks are still in place, now in the 100 mbit/gbit territory. And while most turned into commercial volcanoes over time, there are still some that work as community organizations to this day.

I’d add to this that, from the perspective of a manager or the sales team, the opportunity cost of a feature request is almost always zero, while the opportunity cost to the team implementing it can be huge.

>Amazes me how little data-driven recruiting is.

I'm a founder of a rectech startup. I see four big problems in most companies:

1. Turtle speed. The hiring process takes 45 days, and most of the best candidates get hired by someone else, usually before the hiring manager gets around to interviewing the candidates.

2. Arbitrary process. Candidates get a completely different set of questions, completely different interviewers and completely different resume screenings as different recruiters and hiring managers do things completely differently.

3. Overscreening. Screened by the job board (knockout questions). Screened by the AI in the ATS. Screened by the recruiter. Screened by the hiring manager. Then a phone screen. Then a first interview (which is really another screening). Only then can we try to hire the half-of-a-candidate that made it through the process. Most of this screening isn't cultural, it's people trying to read between the lines on a resume to figure out why Lucy left a job six years ago after being there for four months.

4. Assessments applied after steps 1-3 to confirm executive bias instead of early in the process where the data from assessments could actually be used, you know, as data to compare and fit candidates.

> BigInt types are in fact more or less List<Digit>, normal integer types just aren't implemented like that for performance reasons.

Right. Because you only use BigInts, you don't use isolated BigInt digits.

> but then String would be the only type in your language that doesn't consist of any scalar element but always has an arbitrary length in every situation.

Sure, why not? Every type has something special about it. Integers have overflow, floats have precision, infinities, and NaN, and booleans don't map cleanly to bytes.

There's enough different ways to iterate over a string; you don't need a canonical way to decompose them, which is basically what a char type is. I wouldn't go as far as "mistake", but it's definitely fine to go without it.

> A char is the primitive type that makes up a string if chained together. It's more or less a practical naming convention, just like we can call a tuple of floats a vector.

For chars more complex than a byte, there are multiple practical conventions and it's hard to pick one.

For char=byte there's a very natural convention, and an array of bytes reflects what's actually in memory, but char=byte is something that should be avoided.

So it's either "none of these stand out" or "don't do this". So you might as well keep the language slightly simpler and not have a char type.
The average of the coin flip will be near 50% though. If you let a 1000 people give their opinion on if a stock is up or down in a month, you are likely to do better than random guessing (opinion is a weighted coin). For instance, taking the top 50 stock pickers from the finance section of newspapers will demonstrably lead to a decent, better than random guessing, portfolio.

You are assuming that the stock market is as-good-as-random, and that you can't crowdsource aggregate market sentiment and private information (someone who knows that they will buy the next 5 Tesla cars, so they will contribute to the growth). If you have a 100 of those private information owners, and you aggregate it, you just encoded for brand loyalty. People betting on the GameStop play did so, in part because they were made aware that they were not the only one with nostalgia and hope for GameStop. They did this by pooling their private information.

Finally, if you do assume that clueless pickers are the same as a coinflip, then their noise should cancel out, leading to a very uncertain prediction of 50% (so you turned their non-knowledge into valuable information about the variance/confidence/mindshare penetration/information availability), and then the real experts votes will balance the vote in favor of the most likely prediction (you distilled their expertise).

Taken my counter-example to your spoiler to the extreme: Imagine if all Redditor stock traders gave their honest best guess on if a stock would be down or up next month. The market would become very predictable with that information. Crowdsourcing a subset, just lowers this predictability (but never down to the level of a coin-flip). This crowdsourcing for predictability is precisely the reason the bigger, profitable hedgefunds are crawling Reddit, viewing 16-year old Crypto coin pickers on Youtube, and analyzing retail trades on RobinHood.

The post-IPO market is the only thing that gives the IPO market any value. Hope of an IPO has encouraged countless people to build things. I have a hard time believing investing has been a net negative to creation at all. If anything, it has increased the incentives in the system.

> general purpose WebGIS app

> QGIS is often too heavy or inaccessible

The reasoning is the contradiction here. While most GIS work is conceptually simple, there's so many things people want to do - any new GIS program will either feel incomplete or end up getting incredibly bloated and complex (per QGIS). Try dealing with raster+vector, different file formats, different databases, projection systems, different web service standards, tiling formats, 2d+3d+temporal visualisation, proprietary libraries for particular analysis, etc. etc.

Not to say QGIS can't be improved or a better webGIS wouldn't be helpful, but its a tough task to do so many things even if it all seems conceptually simple.

Lets not forget QGIS itself was basically a clean-slate approach which started much less able than previous open source GIS (Grass).

For the life of me I don’t understand why it isn’t common practice to simply have the team report strictly to a technical lead with a project manager working under the lead as part of the team but only responsible for keeping tabs on available resources and making schedules work. They should report the current logistical situation to the tech lead so the overarching plan can be adjusted as needed. In my mind the PM is a specialist not a leader.
Yes, you can beat the market. But anyone cannot beat the market.

This is a problem for retail investors. Studies such as this one [1] have shown that the past performance of an actively managed fund does not predict its future returns. In other words, while there are certainly actively managed funds that beat the market in some years, a retail investor picking a mutual fund based on past performance is likely to be disappointed.

So how do you pick the fund that will give you high returns? Turns out this is exactly the same problem with individual stock picking, but instead of trying to pick winning stocks on the stock market, you are trying to pick winning managers in the mutual fund business. And your success in doing that ultimately comes down to chance.

If you’re holding then you’re neither buying nor selling, and so you don’t participate in setting the price at all, until the day you sell. Only the people (and machines) that are trading have any say. So it seems like it wouldn’t be the percentage of free-riders that’s an issue, but rather that the size of the active market shouldn’t be too small.

Index funds need to rebalance so they’re not just holding, but it seems like for passive investors, they approximate holding? Maybe the rebalancing would tend to exaggerate the effects of active trading?

I don't disagree with you that individuals can outperform the market.

I do think it's worth pointing out that that doesn't mean that the average retail investor will generally outperform the market, even if they're sophisticated enough to have even heard of Renaissance.

How much are you going to know about a "fresh out of school" hire after 2 weeks, though? The less work experience they have, the longer it's going to take for them to really get up to speed and show that they will become valuable assets to the company. A 6-month contract might make sense there, but not a short-term one.

Sewing is on the spectrum of all the other making processes we like to do — metal, wood, etc. It’s just that measurement accuracy/tolerance is appalling compared to what we’d expect from working with wood or metal. Especially as you get into lighter fabrics closer to clothing than bags.

I have several sewing machines, ranging from a 60yo Swiss post-bed to a modern Juki walking foot. These things can last forever. However if you buy one, assuming you aren’t master seamstress, I highly recommend replacing old clutch motors with a servo motor that also includes “needle positioning” sensor. This enables you to sew at a sane speed and keep the needle where you want it when making corners etc.

It’s also good to have a proper servicing guy come and tune up the machine and get the right tensioning and timing. Unless you have a lot of experience you can get wildly off piste trying to get tensions set if you’re inexperienced.

Leatherworker.net has a sewing machine sub forum that seems to have some decent experts on industrial strength machine questions.

There are two types of chatbots -- unreliable freeform ones (e.g. GPT-3) and reliable script-based ones (e.g. Alexa). I believe that what you're looking to do (dynamic rewriting) is moreso an active research topic!

The script-based chatbots are very similar to those in the 80s, with one major addition -- the options at each choice point are now "intents" instead of exact text (e.g. "the user intends to order a taxi"). Machine learning is then used to classify whatever the user says/writes as an "intent," then the script is followed to the next choice point.

Here is a nice Java framework that uses Ink to drive a script-based chatbot similar to Alexa: https://github.com/rabidgremlin/Mutters

An argument for using the where syntax in simplish adhoc queries: It is a lot shorter and has simpler syntax. Speed is more important than maintainability in this context and it shouldn't result in errors.

Basically, instead of writing

"inner join table2 on"

you can just write "and" and put it after your other where clauses.

It doesn't result in errors because the query will fail if referring to fields from the second table when there is no join.

Could even put the join where clauses on a separate line to split them out from the other where clauses.

It does require reworking the query if not doing an inner join but that is what at least I usually want when doing ad hoc queries. Agree that the join syntax should be used in production code.
Thanks for the pointer.
