Yeah, I half expected a couple downvotes on that one, lol. :P

But, seriously, IMO, to the extent that technical analysis "works," it's probably just exploiting short term momentum. Momentum strategies have been shown to generate alpha. Other than that, you'd probably be just as well off reading tea leaves and goat entrails to guide your trading strategy.
Holy shit, I missed that. Wow, I'm beginning to feel like this author didn't even _think_ about doing research for this article.

I know many an engineer and physicist that swear by RPN. I actually used it for a while, and totally see their love for it, but couldn't quite get it to stick in my head.
Yep. Fully agree. The point of the post wasn't to say that you should use PG as a data warehouse. Just that if it's what you've got available (for various reasons) that you can.
It is very common for SAR to send EMTs in on foot to start initial stabilization and lifesaving procedures before a helicopter or ambulance is able to arrive. Check out these old SAR reports- they're mostly on-foot, not by ambulance. https://www.nps.gov/zion/blogs/sarblog.htm

You wouldn't use this for evac- you wouldn't be able to stabilize a neck or spine with this.

This is why SMS-OTP alone is not sufficient (representing only possession), but mobile phone app based solutions are (they represent possession of a linked device and usually ask for biometrics or a PIN code).

I think that it won't happen.

There are reasons for the tools to be there. When writing scripts, one often relies on the easiest way of producing information. This is something that the author doesn't understand or ignores.

`uname` is indeed very often used in scripts, which is considerably more convenient than parsing `/proc/version` manually; removing it would very likely break a lot of programs.

I don't know about how frequently `bc` is used in scripts, however, bash does not support floating point operations, so I assume it's the typical first choice.

The article seems to be the equivalent of a tabloid piece, especially considering the author's previous posts¹ ("Cyber Week 2020: 13 ideas for what to buy the sysadmin in your life"). I'm baffled by how Red Hat can employ such writers.

Ask HN: What's the pain using current AI algorithms?
Hi, I'm trying to found an AGI or human-level AI startup. Could anyone help me with potential user interviews?

Here is my Calendly https://calendly.com/shakascchen/agi-user-interviews with Zoom url on confirmation.

Questions:

As an AI application developer, what's the pain using current AI algorithms or using trained machine learning models?

When people (may be you or others) don't think AI really understand a concept even if it shows good performance on testing data of your application, what problems would probably happen?

What problems are there when you want your AI accumulating systematic knowledge that can be re-used for fast transfer and adaptation?

How do you deal with rapid requirement changes, big or small, when building or maintaing an AI application?

To really understand a concept means to understand all related concepts and logic, which further expands to understanding all concepts. Do you agree so? On your opinion, does it mean the better performance an AI have, the closer it is to artificial general intelligence or human-level AI?
It's simple; most bay area, like most everywhere, is not FAANG. Treating a non-unimodal distribution as if it were unimodal leads to all sorts of silliness.
Products made by people who take no pride in the product are rarely good. It's the difference between enterprise slime and the software that you actually use on your personal computer. Most software really doesn't exist in a competitive market, it's naturally monopolistic, so you can't just rely on market forces to ensure it isn't shit.
I think I managed to get to the point if not caring when I stated to right about Australian women on Wikipedia. Once I wrote an article about Ellen Atkinson, I realised the content was key, not the games.

I already knew that, of course. I now write under another account. Hopefully I remain anonymous. If I get famous or respected under this account, I’ll create a new one where I’m not recognised.
This makes a lot of sense.

In the past, the big hurdle to becoming an author (or a musician, or a model, etc) was getting past the gatekeepers. You had to convince a publisher, or a label, or a modeling company that you were worthy and then you were in.

This seemed like an impossible task to most people, and many people gave up without even trying. But for those who did persist and attempt to get past the gatekeepers, there was a very clear goal, and the gatekeepers were very clear to you when you didn't make it.

The traditional gatekeepers to a lot of professions are being bypassed these days, so at first it seems like it should be easier now. You don't have to have any connections or convince a single person your stuff is worthy.

However, in reality that game is even harder now. The demand for the content hasn't changed much, and it is still just as rare to succeed in these fields as before. However, people never get the clear 'pass/fail' response from a gatekeeper, so people who will never make it are likely to pursue the career longer than they might have with a more clear rejection.

Sure; criminal penalties for criticizing the government disincentivizes a lot of potential dissent, too. Works well in China.

I think you're right that imprisoning people for paying ransoms would probably decrease the probability that a victim would pay a ransom. And imprisoning people for blasphemy would probably decrease the probability that someone would take Jesus's name in vain. But I'm not sure how useful it is to discuss things like this. (And, for the record, I also think it's unconscionable that the US imprisons people for simply using drugs.)

And then there's the question of overall efficacy: it disincentivizes a lot of potential drug use, but does it also disincentivize drug sales? Does banning drug possession decrease the amount of drugs sold? I don't know. They could always just try to sell to more people than they otherwise would have.

Similarly, ransomers could just go for more of a spray-and-pray approach and ransom more victims per unit time to offset the fact that there's a lower probability that any one victim would pay. They could also hike up ransom prices to offset it, so that each victim is hurt more even if there may possibly be fewer total victims.

I think even if it did objectively, inarguably decrease the amount of ransoms - which I acknowledge is plausible - it'd still be completely unethical and an extremely terrible idea. But I'm not even sure if it would. We aren't exactly winning the War on Drugs by penalizing drug use, and I'm not convinced we're going to win the War on Ransomware by penalizing ransom payments. And even if we could win both those wars that way, I think it'd still be really fucked up and major governmental overreach.

There are a lot of issues with this idea, too, but I'd be more sympathetic to the ideas some others have suggested in this thread: bring back letters of marque and reprisal and provide some legal structure for American/European citizens to target international cybercriminals in certain countries and perhaps also take money from them and keep a percentage of the proceeds, etc. I'd be way more in favor of vigilante justice against perpetrators as a remedy compared to draconian punishments against victims. These people currently face absolutely no repercussions, so adding some repercussions may help deter them.

AWS support doesn't generally suck or behave the way you're describing without good reason, so I feel we're missing part of the story here. What are you leaving out?

Anyway, it's important to frame what happened correctly: the security of someone on your team was sloppy, and most likely a bot was able to get an access key or access to one of your accounts, spin up crypto miners on EC2s and now you're responsible for the bill. If it hadn't been that, it'd have been ransomware, you probably got lucky.

Now, to see if your situation can be improved: Put up some dollars and get business support. Make a clear and polite case, from the beginning. Ask for a refund but you don't have grounds to demand it; if they issue one, it's a gesture of good will. They probably will issue one if you haven't had to ask for that before, but it reflects badly on everybody that cryptominers weren't caught for two months.

And before you create that ticket, make some billing alerts so you can show AWS support that this won't happen again.

Yes, I think that at this point putting your own life at risk is acceptable. You'll probably have to wear a mask since you could make other people sick (who could then pass it on to someone immunocompromised). Of course you could face a civil suit, if someone get's sick or dies, and you can be shown as the proximate cause of illness. Your employer may choose not to take that risk.

If you're licensed in many states (e.g. medical, etc.) you're already required to be vaccinated against flu/TB. With EUA they've put this off, but with full authorization, why treat it differently?

Well, that's because you're looking at London, infamous for how expensive it is to live in.

It's fairly easy to be on £60k outside of London with a few years of experience. Moving up north towards the Midlands or even further like Manchester or Leeds and you're going to live a very comfortable life on a Software Developer salary.

Yeah, it's not the US where people are on £200k at 25. But earning £60k in your 20s puts you so far ahead of almost everyone else in their 20s in the UK.
So, we take a system that has been working perfectly for 40 years, and throw some government “task forces” at it, and we hope this makes it work better?

Dr. Martin Loetzsch did a great video, ETL Patterns with Postgres. He covers some really good topics:

- Instead of updating tables build their replacements under a different name then rename them. This makes updating heavy-to-compute table instant. Works even for schemas: rebuild a schema as schemaname_next rename the current to schemaname_old then rename schemaname_next to schemaname.

- Keep all the source data raw and disable WAL, you don't need it for ETL.

- Set memory limitis high.

And lots of other good tips for doing ETL/DW in postgres. It's here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whwNi21jAm4

I really appreciate having data in postgres. It's often easy to think that a specialised DW tool will solve all your problems, but that often fails to consider things like:

- Developer experience. Postgres runs very easily on a local machine, more specialized solutions often don't or are tricky to setup.

- Learning another tool costs time. A developer can learn postgres really well in the time it takes them to figure out how to use several more specialised tools. And many devs already know postgres because it's pretty much the default DB nowadays.

- Analytics queries often don't need to run at warp speed. Bigquery might give you the answer in a second but if postgres does it in a minute and it's a weekly report, who cares?

- Postgres is boring and has been around for many years now, it will probably still be here in 10 years so time spent learning it is time well spent. More niche systems will probably be superseded by fancier, faster replacements.

I would go so far as to say don't necessarily need to split out your DW from your prod DB in every case. As soon as you start splitting out a DW to a separate server you need some way to keep it in sync, so you'll probably end up duplicating some business logic for a report, maintaining some ingestion app, shuffling data around S3 or whatever. Keeping your analytics in your prod DB (or just a snapshot of yesterdays DB) is often good enough and means you will be more likely to avoid gnarly business-rules going out of sync between your app and your DW.
This idea has been strongly rejected by the FSF/GNU group. Now, they don't have magical sovereignty over the word "open source", but as commonly used, especially in "these parts of the woods", most people will think of Open Source == FOSS, which with no uncertainty intentionally allows bad people to use it. This is one of the things that has gotten RMS in hot water, and when push comes to shove is a pretty unpopular opinion, but is deeply embedded in the GNU GPL and BSD sense of "open source".

There are multiple "don't be evil" licenses, with varying types of stipulations. Some literally say "don't be evil". There was one license that made the rounds here on HN a while back that said something to the effect of "you must accept the authority of the Christian Bible". These are controversial at best, and disliked in part because they're often extremely vague, and very questionably enforceable.

Trying to spell out the specific moral or legal stipulations that would prevent one from using software is ... more doable from a legal perspective, but still opposed by FSF/GNU types, because it feels contrarian to the free software movement, and a general distrust for governments and government regulations. Taking people's software freedom away because of where they're born rubs some people the wrong way.

Not sure exactly how I feel about the issue as a whole, I don't buy wholesale into Stallman's ideology, but it's something worth considering.

It is a form in English, example idiom might be, “the man in the street”, which in general relates “anyone in any street” and thereby simply means “ordinary people”.

Humans are fundamentally meant to interact and collaborate with other humans. Technology has obscured this by empowering us each to be resourceful alone. In the long term, we indeed do operate best collaboratively.
Unrelated funny little fact for lovers of scifi novels: Pyre (PyrE) was the name of an extremely rare element and main plot device for the novel Tiger! Tiger! (aka. "The Stars My Destination"), by Alfred Bester:

Chipotle is hiring 20k employees and is prepared to offer them $15/hr, as other retail establishments who have followed along (Amazon, Target). Of course this is going to squeeze businesses offering low wage, grueling jobs. It’s about framing, attempting to cast those who can make more on unemployment as lazy. Someone who has something someone else wants (labor) that is in tight supply, and intelligently prices it isn’t lazy; they’re savvy. This is market price discovery, with sour grapes from a buyer who previously was able to obtain a better price from the seller.
