Our Data Intelligence team, in particular, leverages data and machine-learning capabilities to build innovative experiences for our audience and provides scalable solutions to CNN’s operations.

So, in plainer terms, what is the use that ML is being put to here? Recommending different stories to users? Choosing which reporters to send to which locations? What sort of stories get the most engagement? Which villain is trying to steal Aunt Em's ranch? Deep fake versions of their reporters when they're short on staff? Or What?

It seems like everyone with an IT department and lots of data is trying to do ML but the possibilities seem thinner and thinner. People look at this stuff have too easily said "AI Winter" but current ML useful enough that it won't go away but it still seems like some retrenchment will go.

Or, IDK, maybe there are a wider array of possible applications than I'm thinking of. I'm curious.
Of course, I didn't mean to imply any certainty, only that the blog post mentioned that it would likely resolve to format_args! which doesn't return a string but rather std::fmt::Arguments.
On the contrary, many of us were amused at the birth of the term "data science". With "political science" and "computer science" as examples, we felt that including the word "science" in a field name was a bit "The lady doth protest too much, methinks". Those who named "data science" don't share our sentiment.

This was a deliberate effort to Balkanize statistics, form a new union, a franchise reboot. Had statistics instead been called "statistical science" you can be sure that "data science" would have chosen a different term.

Words face in a direction. While many roll their eyes at a Ph.D. going by doctor (it shouts insecurity, a poker tell for a second-rate institution), one also needs to understand the experience of a young female attempting to command a classroom's respect. The Brits love titles and hierarchy; at some level this is just a fashion choice.

Similarly, no one serious about food calls themselves a "gourmet", but the term has commercial value.

"Data science" isn't named for us. It's named for the clients.
> they're being too cynical.

Huh? If anything, they're too optimistic; as you pointed out, it's likely many companies will continue to ignore this and either make backups without improving their security, pay ransoms after the fact or quietly implode when they can't.

I agree that 1 is a bit useless (although I took it to mean PGP-for-example, not PGP-specifically), but I didn't see anything particularly relevant to it, aside from what I mentioned above.

Med students have to jump through an unimaginable number of hoops to prove that they will put up with anything because they are supposed to be hungry to save the world, humble in the face of nature, and smart enough to get a top percentile on a never-ending series of standardized admission and licensing exams.

By the time they're actually working in the field, it's: Did you fill out that insurance paperwork so the hospital can get reimbursed? Good, here's the next stack of paperwork to fill out so the hospital can get reimbursed ad infinitum. How fast are you seeing patients? Any more than 20 minutes is too long. We don't have staffing levels to support that. Nurses are over-ratio, but try not to kill anyone with a mistake.

I've always used the Arduino IDE for building only -- the single button is nice -- and actually written code with vim. I really don't want another electron app, or vscode.

I honestly cannot figure out what you are getting at here.

You are definitely correct that California has a massive economy.

I'm not really commenting on California's economy or anyone else's though. I'm simply saying California and things like CalPERS are reliant on high equities valuations to maintain their solvency.
Downvoting seems to turn any opinionated discussion into a stupid game/power struggle between upvotes and downvotes. As if you somehow "win" whenever someone with a different perspective is downvoted to grey.

We used the Arduino IDE a fair amount building the code for an interactive art piece we deployed at the 2019 burn.

https://skylarkcollective.com/blog/2020/01/27/the-listener-a...

I believe we had to use the official arduino IDE to compile because we were working with a Teensy to get extra power and processor.

https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/

When getting really detailed with gameplay and audio cues it was always easier to just make edits in the IDE to test again and again.

It was missing a lot of conveniences that would have made the project easier.

I work with Pycharm most of the time so the Arduino IDE was like the land before time.

I’m glad to see this, it is important for early skill building to have some semblance of modern dev tooling.
There’s a lot of wisdom here.
Hi dang, thanks for the amazing work you do moderating HN.

Reading your words "The weariness that arises at the thought of caring about commenter opinions" got me thinking about how the unique experience (even if perhaps not specially positive) that a moderator has to go through can influence his view of the world. I hope this equilibrium that you seem to have reached makes you happy, I can imagine how moderating can be an ungrateful job.
Wonderful work! For a software engineer new to the space, your attention to detail and clarity of the implementation truly stand out.
Are you planning to open source and/or continue adding features to this app?
A lot of people create their own problems. They can't deal with the infinite backlog of work that always grows and that is a personal problem. They aren't being asked to work longer or harder they just can't deal with the fact that the amount of TODO work always grows.

A lot of this work has been research of Dina Katabi at MIT, via a function called the Sparse Fourier ("4-E-A") Transform.

I am not excusing the privacy implications, which will be abused to the extreme. However, it will be used also for health reasons, like monitoring respiration, and activity.
That assumes this statement is made out of some sort of particular knowledge. When a Google Zero researcher finds an exploit, then goes through Google crash logging to determine if it's been abused in the wild, there is a reasonable basis for speculation on their part to say if this is an active exploit in the wild or not.

When an sales busybody like the WiFi alliance makes that statement, it comes from ignorance and CYA.
My opinion: I really dislike Rust's syntax because to me it is similar to Perl's that I also do not like that much as I do not know what is happening just by looking at it (I still like to use Perl here and there, but these days I lean towards Tcl more), it seems hidden from me, even compared to something as C where I have to think about conversions and whatnot.

I can easily read and understand someone's Ada, C, or OCaml code and actually know what is going on, but I cannot read and understand even my own Perl code (after a week or two), or other people's Rust code. I would rather prefer reference implementations to be in C than in Rust, too. If I read the C version, I can easily port it to any language vs. if it were in Rust.
If you analyze the physics, you find that the way the inertia works out is that smaller things need shorter control cycles. The relevant timescales for large objects ends up being longer.
I agree. Email is fast enough to have a real-time conversation, I do it often. Maybe not as instant as WhatsApp, etc, but with other advantages.
I think a lot of webapps undervalue low latency. I remember when Microsoft was talking about Surface research once and said that most people could start to notice latency >20ms.

I think talking about the modern web in milliseconds doesn’t represent the way it really is. Based on my experience everything is measured in seconds and UIs are awful compared to what we had 10-20 years ago.

It’s like the old green screens that adept users could outperform, but with better graphics and no buffer/command queue.

As a habitual burnout, there is some truth to this. For me, the solution to wanting to quit whatever job I had after 2 or 3 years turned out to be starting my own consultancy. Controlled burns are sort of built-in to consulting since you end up with a new client every 8 months or so anyway.
Why should ETI allow others to sell their product on Amazon? It's better both for them and customers, unless you believe it's somehow inflating price (which doesn't seem to be the case?). I don't see how this is any different from direct-to-consumer brands that own the exclusive sales channel to their customers (regardless of whether the sale takes place in a marketplace).

In the readme, it says that "backend operations such as compilation and uploading are offloaded to an arduino-cli instance running in daemon mode." Maybe you could use that program to build, while still writing your code with vim.
I long ago turned this feature off using these instructions:

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202074

Can someone verify: is this toggled ON by default? If so, that's scummy as hell. All tracking should be opt-in. All of it. Especially since Apple is putting prompts in front of users about tracking across apps. "Privacy is a human right," remember?

I'd like to see Apple get out of this business entirely.
Old-school snail mail and voice telephony are just as open, distributed, and ubiquitous. The delivery channel providers are centralized, but that is just as true of email. Hosting your own server means nothing without an ISP.

That said, I think all three methods of communication feel obsolete and useless to me for the same reason, they're drowned out by marketing chatter. The one nice effect of the recent real estate bubble is I've effectively divorced from even using a phone. I don't even move it from the counter most of the time and don't take it with me when I leave the house. It's like 1995 all over again, but if I have it with me, it's a non-stop cacophony of people claiming to have heard from a friend of a friend that I want to unload a house.

Email is no better. Every single company I have ever conducted even the slighest and smallest transaction with suddenly thinks I want to know everything that ever happens with their products and offers. Regular mail is 99% re-fi offers from obscure mortgage providers I've never heard of.

Massive scale direct marketing is probably the worst thing to ever happen to remote communication between parties actually interested in communicating with each other, as the only practical way to do it now is pseudonymously through closed systems you never use to conduct real business with your real identity, to avoid being hounded by everyone who shares a constant contact account with someone you once gave a dollar to.

Maybe it'll force us to actually interact in person again.
And yet, many companies offer what amounts to an absolutely abusive environments, and it'd be nice if we could stop blaming people for the fact that their places of employment are disaster areas.

It's a thought experiment on the viability of retrocausal blackmail, a techno-futurist rebranding of conventional christian eschatology. The real-life hazard is minimal, although probably not strictly zero.

Sad to see this as the top comment. No substance, just a rant with absolutely zero data or meaningful insight.

Which specific parts of the numbers do you disagree with?

In what world? Clothing costs are way down

> Food prices are way up

Some food prices are up, some are flat

> Lots of goods literally just seem unbuyable at this point

Like what?

> people are now lining up to buy gas

Not sure how this fits in with the rest of your rant

> lumber prices are way up

Yeah, not many households are spending a large chunk of their income on lumber
my 2 cents.. I've done a decent amount of work in Cloudformation before working with Terraform, and I generally find it to be far more developer friendly to work with. It is easier to organize and refactor and the syntax is more readable. For me the only negatives are: 1) its not 1.x yet, so you have to pay attention to breaking changes between versions 2) remote state of the infrastructure isn't handled for you like in cloudformation. Neither of these have outweight the benefits for me.
What the actual fuck??

Honestly I don't see any purely technical solution to this. At some point we have to demand that laws be written to outlaw this.

Usually when I talk to people about the “confusing threads” in email, it turns out that they are using a broken client like Gmail. Threading in email is great. Your email client is broken and not respecting the protocol:

I think you're doing a great job, but if that job burdens you with existential weariness maybe you should look for something else to do, for your own sake?

Porting is a feature, and they already charged for it under the pre-subscription model.
I have to wonder how many of those "privacy protections" are enforced by the software running on the tag itself, though.

A malicious tag might be able to attack an iPhone -- it's not hard to imagine that the "communicate with tag" protocol stack may be vulnerable.

In an alternate reality I’m a scuba diving marine biologist. I hated biology in school, but I’ve always had a soft spot for fish. Now I think biology is cool and so I have some ragrets.

Scuba diving is something I’ve always wanted to do, but never put any effort into getting started. Thanks for nudging me in that direction.
And sadly there are some people who can't effectively be treated because inside they don't actually want to get better. There is a very good chance that a person miserable at their job could forget about moving to a new job and just quit, have all their needs taken care of to a high standard of living, and still be completely miserable.
For S/MIME you don’t need to share keys. Your private key gets signed by a CA that you both trust.

You can even get free S/‘MIME certificates that validate on all clients.

People don’t do it because encrypted mail can’t be searched or archived, and it becomes cumbersome to have a wider array of clients.
No. What I heard proposed was just at the DIMM level. The memory controller has no concept of memory usage.

For sufficiently dim targets, you absolutely need minutes long exposure. If you go for shorter bursts, you face two main challenges:

1) Not enough photons reach the sensor to distinguish the object you are trying to photograph from the noise floor of the sensor. This is by far the biggest reason to go for a tracking mount.

2) You bog your computer down in post processing. 50x1 minute images are far simpler to align than 500x6 seconds images.

Combine (1) and (2), and there's barely any reason to go for untracked shots. As for satellites, planes, clouds, or other kind of transient phenomena that can potentially ruin a shot, that's where you apply some kind of clipping over data (usually sigma clipping or some variation of it) and problem solved.
