No, this does not solve the problem that he describes in the article. You can have a great crossvalidation score and still struggle on unseen data if the data is relatively dissimilar from your train set. Like X-Ray scans produced from a different machine. There are numerous other examples. CNNs on images for example are famously known to disintegrate on images + white noise (which look the same to a human).

I've been mining Bitcoin since the early 2010s.

It is hot garbage... but it's hot garbage people will pay for, and I see no reason to sell now. I legitimately think BTC will hit $1m per coin, although I couldn't say when, and I definitely cannot say why.

I myself don't understand the attraction to it. I understand the arguments on a logical level, and even an emotional level, but they're not good arguments, imo.

I suppose one difference is that decompiling might cause one to be considered "tainted" by exposure to the internals, to some degree.

Instead observing an opaque box's external behavior, and reasoning from that, seems more "cleanroom".

I don't know whether that difference matters in this case, but I've long assumed it matters in some cases.

BASH is not an appropriate standard to use in writing a script.

ShellCheck recognizes three hashbangs, POSIX, BASH, and the Korn shell (as is explained in the manual page). I would argue and assert that BASH is the least relevant of the three.

I have occasionally needed to write to the POSIX standard, and remove advanced features from my scripts. This is most commonly needed for BusyBox (including Windows) and Ubuntu/Debian DASH. It is important to understand what is not in POSIX, for the time when an advanced shell isn't available. Please browse the POSIX definition, reported by a google of "POSIX shell":

https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/V...

The Korn shell lived and diverged for many years, beginning with ksh88 (issued before the first BASH release in 1989). David Korn retired, and AT&T was not pleased with ksh93 changes implemented by outsiders who impacted both compatibility and performance, and thus ksh93 was rewound.

Cygwin, notibly, only implements mksh for Windows. The mksh binary on all platforms is a fraction of the size of BASH (check the output of the "size" command if an "ls" does not persuade you).

However, the MirBSD Korn shell is one of the most lively shells for development activity, the latest release being in October of 2020. It is also on every Android phone (chosen as the system shell by Google), so its deployment is massive.

When I am purposely writing above the POSIX shell, I choose mksh from MirBSD as my standard. I do not think the BASH innovations to be well-thought.
The article seems to claim that if we did as he says and rewrote all of our code to be data-oriented instead of object-oriented, then our code would run ~2X faster and all of our performance problems would be solved. However, I got my first 64 thread server CPU 15 years ago and my first 64 thread desktop CPU six years ago, so I could get a much larger increase by instead keeping my OO code and making it concurrent (64X > 2X). Also, if being 2X faster would make everything better, we could just wait 18 months and let Moore's law take care of the 2X savings, rather than the much longer period of time it would take to redesign our languages and rewrite all of our code.

This is fantastic! About 5 years ago (just before this repo was made it seems) I was doing a ton of stuff with EEG analysis with python. Used CWTs a ton but it was slooow, even with lots of numpy tricks. This would have been super handy.

I also learned in that time that while you can extract a complex signal from a real one using the Hilbert transform, it's not quite the same, and I've always wondered if we could achieve better fidelity/encoding/compression by starting with quadrature signals. Never figured out quite why, since Shannon-Nyquist says you should be able to encode all information of a bandwidth f signal with 2f sample rate, but I suspect it has to do with the difference between ideal real number math and nonlinear, quantizing, imperfect ADCs.

Not sure how you'd actually get quadrature signals from sound waves or any wideband scalar signal (maybe record at far higher sampling rate to get more phase information, then downsample), but it's a fun thought experiment.
Maybe it isn't completely dominant yet, but attention has had a strong run:

Printers used to be expensive and noisy.

In 1993 I was one of about 3 people on a dorm floor of ultraturbonerds who had a printer in my room; it was a Canon BJ130, I think, which had the distinction of being a tractor-fed 300dpi black-and-white inkjet, and thus much much quieter than my friend's IBM ProPrinter 24XL. How much quieter? It wouldn't wake up people in the next room.

> Why do you think they are insane?

Are you saying that you cannot think of any way or argument, as for why a person's opinion on social interaction, and social apps, would be invalidated in any way, due to the fact that they are an individual who chose to spent a decade in isolation?

You really cannot come up with any reasons yourself, as for why their opinion, could be at least a little bit suspect, or why it could be OK to dismiss their opinion on these topics, given that they chose to spend a decade in isolation?

Generally, when having a conversation with someone, and they ask 1 million questions, that they should know the answer to, my only conclusion that I will be able to reach is that they are acting in bad faith.

> it’s not clear how this piece is related to your earlier comments

You truly cannot think of any parallels, or ways, in which the analogy is related, between these types of behavior? C'mon. I know you can think this through here.

These are simple statements here. I know you can figure this out.

I came very close to taking a hit. Was working with a flight instructor on some instrument training. On landing, a deer broke out and took that as an opportunity to cross the runway. Speeds were way too low for me to throttle up and pull up, though that was my first inclination. The grizzly veteran shouted "Fly through the deer!" I did... the deer did not make contact, and we did what constituted a great landing - someone else could use the plane again. Yanking back on the stick would have likely stalled us out for a bad landing. Words stuck with me for driving, etc. Fly through the deer.

Chairs are created by human (or machine) labor.

Since the provenance of the owned thing is entirely different in each case, it seems likely the legal/social/moral understanding of ownership in each case would be quite different.

That one is kind of odd. I use a hook for i18n but all it does is pull from a react context.

All of our tests that assert on text, assert using the i18n key. So we could re-run the suite in Arabic or Hebrew, for example, and be confident in the result.

There's no reason to mock it. It's an identity function if the translation doesn't exist.
True.

But I think that this problem does not need to be solved "society-wide" but does need to be universally solvable for any interested individual, regardless of gender. Practically, with technology not with policy.

Well, you wanted to live where there were a lot of jobs. Not everyone made that choice. I've worked as a programmer in Italy, Austria and now Oregon. So maybe you didn't "want" to live there, but you chose to.

> Rockley’s optical technology enables the miniaturization of sensing devices necessary for the evolution of a wearable spectrometer [0]

If you have a wearable spectrometer (i.e. measure the wavelengths that are reflected), and a variable light source (i.e. control the frequencies sent into the body), you can isolate repeating patterns, even for molecules like glucose: https://youtu.be/xMa1BQ8z9C0?t=541

I'm still not sure how they can tell the parts per million, etc. Probably through multiple samples over time, or multiple veins.

To reiterate on the original reply, a land value tax is on the value of the land your apartment sits on, but crucially, not on the value of the apartment. If there's a derelict tyre place next door that's on the same area of land and selling for significantly less, your entire building combined pay the same LVT as its owner.

>drive out) everyone else in the team [by] just being bad at communicating

Wow. What exactly did he do that literally made everyone else quit? Surely there was a lot more than just "being bad at communicating".
I guess if you aren't working over a period of years, you are just increasing commute times by occupying the densest areas and Georgism is incentivizing you to move farther out or build vertical (it's on land, not structures).
This is very relevant. Many of us work in tech, are married, and know of this couple., just for starters.

It's so very sad every time there is controversial topics, out come the bot armies and flag/down vote them into oblivion. How can HN have such strong. encroaching censorship?

There doesn't even seem to be many people disagreeing that this is very much on topic.
This article is about China, so that's the context of this conversation. The point of the article is that the policy has lingering effects, which are being noticed now through the study of data points. Are you seriously suggesting a one child per woman policy, or is this in jest?
The value of the land still counts towards the total property value, so it's not an inverse effect, but it does decay the more is built until there's no marginal incentive one way or the other.
Why do you think that? It's a risk-reward balance. Why wouldn't increasing the reward tip the scales?
I'm not sure your number is accurate, but even if it is, that is a general population number and doesn't take into account the higher risk certain populations, such as over 65 or those with comorbidities. Essentially the use of that number with no context encourages people to act as if the risk is spread evenly, but an asymptomatic 18 year old has a much higher risk of killing their grandparents than 0.3%.

Can you elaborate why ziploc bags specifically and why three?

I assume ziplocs because you still can see the screen and probably could even interact with it, but not easily.

Then three, because if you really need the phone right now, you could rip it open, just not easily.

A lot of this behaviour is habit though. Increasing the treshold just a tiny bit might be enough to break the habit could improve his situation. Anecdotally I had some sites I visited out of habit and not because I actually needed to visit them, my simple solution was to block them. This created enough of a treshold to get rid of the habit. Sure I can go and unblock them if I want to, there is nothing preventing me from doing that. It's just that this breaks the habit. At first it frequently happened that I tried to go to the site and it didn't work, but nowadays I simply don't visit them anymore. Everyone is different of course and you have to find what works for you. It's of course not a replacement for real professional help if that's needed.
You means the developer. If a developer has decided to put a big building there, it's because there is demand. Obviously there's no central planning authority, just developers building where they can.

I should have been more specific in 'need the density'. Yes, in today's climate that means 'because someone thought it would be profitable. That's because they saw there was demand for housing there.

> Efficiency isn't the most important thing to all people.

You've constructed a strawman position I don't hold. There's clearly a difference between "we should live in dorms" and "maybe we should discourage single family homes holding the land that could be use to house hundreds of families in apartments or condos."

> I don't understand what you mean by "artificial" inflation of prices, what's artificial about it?

Speculators are buying houses and renting them out in hopes that the land prices will skyrocket as demand for city life increases. By holding the stock of single family homes near urban cores in reserve, they are preventing the land from being used to build large housing developments. Because there is a lack of large housing developments, housing costs are higher than they would be if speculators instead sold all their lots to developers for developing low/mid/highrise housing.
Indeed, moderation comments suck. They suck even more to write than to read, if that helps at all (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...).

The GP comment is actually a string of internet clichés: (1) "it's not some conspiracy", (2) "if they could sell" (3) "if you think [...] you should". That plus the confrontational edge makes it a flamewar comment. We're trying to avoid those here.

Btw, one key thing to look for is whether a comment engages anything specific in an article, or is just using it to make a generic point. The latter is always a bad sign in HN threads.
Jobs were good, but lots of people move somewhere for work. I know people who moved to the miserable (according to them) tundra in Canada for super well paying oil jobs, but they didn't want to move there because of the tundra, but because of the jobs. Calculated decision. Many people "want" a high paying, stable job and thus move somewhere because of that.

Anecdotally, I spent two decades in Houston and have a pretty good feel for it. It has many redeeming qualities and will always have a place in my heart, but most people I talk to find the flatness, lack of seasons, and oppressive heat to be too much of downsides to "want" to live there. I don't think I have ever met anyone ever who moved to Houston because they wanted to move to Houston in the same way people move to Florida or San Diego or Denver because they want to move to those places.

I’m one of the few weirdos who actually seeks out and reads the ToS & privacy policy posted on sites I visit and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve run into a site with infinite scrolling and a footer (with all the “important” legal stuff) that a user will never see but for a fleeting moment. A feature or a bug? I’m never quite sure.
EDIT - In their filing, Clearview states that they’ve changed their business practices and have cancelled all accounts of non-government customers. They promise to inform the court if that changes during the lawsuit. But not after. So… They promise that they’ve changed - to make the lawsuit go away - but that once the lawsuit is gone they are free to go back to doing what they’ve always done. That is an insane argument to make in a court filing.

Another hilarious thing is that they also claim to have blocked customers from searching photos that have GPS metadata identifying them as from Illinois. Blocked from searching, not deleting. Yeah, that’s admitting to a continued violation of the law. Read the law again.

They say they’ve created an opt-out program for Illinois residents, when the law actually says that it must be opt-in. WTF?

I’d really like to read the response to this filing!
