Introducing the Kale SDK for MLOps and Kubeflow
A Tesla will regularly put 100hp or more into just accelerating to highway speeds on an onramp. It's not exactly a tire-shredder.
[Ask HN] From days to minutes by using Dask and Spark–what else should I learn?
I often find myself having to wait up to multiple hours (in one case days) waiting for an ML model to train or to tune some hyper parameters. I recently discovered Dask and with small changes to my Python code I saved many hours of compute. I only wish I knew about it sooner.

Does anyone else spend hours waiting for their computation to run? If yes, I'd love to

Maybe you are mistaking what a lien is. A lien isn't when someone takes possession until they are paid, but a legal debt attached to the object in which the person attaching the lien claims partial ownership of that property until the debt has been paid. It does not require possession of the object. A mechanic can place a lien on your house for no payment. It 100% exists in law and requires the debt to be written down.
Run old technology with old software.

That argument would be more convincing if Microsoft hadn't systematically pushed the owners of older PCs to update them to run Windows 10. How many millions of PCs dating from the early to mid 2010s are now stuck with the results despite their hardware still working normally?
> But here's the thing, in 10 years time, you're going to have Windows, which is still just, and will continue to be, Windows. And macOS, and iOS, and tvOS, and every other Apple OS, is going to be so much more. And they already are so much more.

Some of those, perhaps, but MacOS has been on a steady decline for the past five years. Apple doesn't seem to care about the Mac platform except as a lifestyle accessory/devbox for iPhone owners. Windows may be limiting itself by merely trying to provide a decent daily-use desktop environment, but Apple isn't even doing that anymore.
Exactly this - I am trying to think through the implication for me personally. There aren't quite micro-towns where I am yet so maybe just a place outside of the city centre?
That's what I was thinking. I barely understand how git works but I've never had issues neither. Could be because people don't have a good workflow.

Mine is as simple as:

- git pull -r (to pull & automatically rebase commits from the common branch)

- git checkout -b (to create my own feature/debug branch from the common branch)

- git add -A/commit -m/push (to add, commit and push… I usually let my IDE handle that part)

- git rebase (to rebase commits from the common branch)

- git reset (to squash all the "WIP" and "fix" commits on my feature/debug branch. I then do 1 or 2 clean commits and push -f)

- finally I do a merge request, or directly git cherry-pick the commits to the original branch if nobody else works on the project

I've been doing this for years and it just works.
> Melbourne and Sydney also suffer from being gravity wells for migration, so that people don't leave for better paying work elsewhere or cheaper housing.

This is exactly it, I'd love to leave Sydney to live somewhere else but until remote working is ingrained in our culture, it's just too risky for my partner and I to move away to a smaller city/town incase our current employment changes.

I've been amazed to hear of so many people who, as soon as they started working from home because of the pandemic, bought a house 2.5 hours away from their office. You're one bosses decision away from having a very miserable daily life.
I'm not a graphics expert, but the reason why VR is so intensive is because it has to render the same frame twice from two different perspectives (one for each eye). This is compounded by the fact that low resolution / frame-rate VR hurts to look at, and so there is a minimum resolution requirement on top of a minimum frame rate requirement on top of a double render requirement. There's a lot of compute power necessary to build a smooth VR experience.

AR doesn't have to have those same requirements because you're not going to get nauseous looking at a buggy label flickering in the distance. You don't have to spend compute cycles to trick your brain into believing what you're seeing is real, because it is actually real (minus the overlayed 3D models, of course).

Now, sure, you will have to spend compute cycles on depth sensing and mapping your immediate area. But that's something the OS should/will do, not every app simultaneously. If you think about what an AR operating system would be responsible for doing, mapping your surroundings and providing that data via API is probably one of the first features it would have. It's no different from Windows or macOS communicating with your monitor so that your applications can draw on it. Similarly, every app likely won't be responsible for drawing its UX onto the user's vision - it will probably submit some graphic or model to the OS, which will then anchor that model "onto" reality and handle the user moving their head around it. Much like how every Windows app is not responsible for resizing or moving its window, that's the window manager's job to do. In AR we would probably have a reality manager or something.

What I will agree with you on is that we probably need desktop-level rendering power to solve AR, not mobile-level. However, with the release of M1, it does seem like we're pretty much there already, and I would not bet against Apple's chip team failing to make a smaller M1 that fits into AR glasses.
> It may be the case that they are not "spying" on you, but just because there is no proof of something happening, doesn't mean that it isn't happening. So this type of thinking is flawed.

The little gnomes are watching me through the cracks in my ceiling. My psychologist told me my thinking is flawed, but I told them @ksd482 thinks their thinking is flawed cause they don't have proof otherwise.

> Are you seriously suggesting that google isn't keeping track of what you are watching or searching and tailoring your ads based on your activity?

I can't say for sure, but again that is what youtube-dl, Minitube, etc are for and VPNs. If you're liking, commenting, etc on videos of course they are probably going to be tailoring content based on what you're engaged in. They do have the option to remove all that though and to delete your feedback history.

Google Drive really is the most convenient even with encryption, especially for something like rclone if you look at what is supported.

Pumped hydro is really cool. Also really bad when it fails:

> ... catastrophic failure of a triangular section of the reservoir wall and the release of 1 billion US gallons (3,800,000 m3) of water in 12 minutes. The sudden release sent a 20-foot (6.1 m) crest of water down the East Fork of the Black River.

> A broad swath of dense forest was washed away and scoured to bedrock by the escaping flow.

A tidbit that will be interesting to any programmer or engineer: one of the causes of the failure was that the high-water gauges were moved to above the height of the dam wall because someone was annoyed by false positives.

Nothing. There's a difference between all employers forbidding remote work, and only some of them doing so.
I'm a data analyst/engineer and I'm not very good at visualisations as they haven't been that important at my jobs. I know it sounds a bit weird. Recently I've been trying to make a Plotly-Dash report/webtool that will enable bidirectional flow of data. So far I haven't been able to get plotly running on Jupyter. The examples I've seen so far have been amazing. I wish I could make it work. Hopefully the latest version will help me produce plots inside Jupyter notebook for testing purposes.
I regularly contribute to OSM, but still 75% of the time, when I need a piece of essential information about a company, I can only find it in Google.
People say this all the time, but I've really not seen it. I'm in an org with one of the highest promotion rates in the company, and it is focused primarily on what you describe as missing. I've personally seen people promoted to senior staff for literally fixing problems and buried risks in existing stable systems.

I don't know how to address this meme, since it is very clear that managers are telling their reports that this is how things work and leading to this widespread belief, but when I actually go into the promo sessions I don't see this at all.

If anything, your comment is exactly the problem OP is talking about.
I had relative number of commits mentioned as part of my negative performance evaluation. I was working on a project involving a long information gathering phase and a long design process for the architecture, but that wasn't considered an excuse. It 100% depends on your manager, though. I think managers might feel forced to make a comparisons and put an otherwise acceptable engineer on the bottom of the stack. Lines of code and commit count is a pretty low-thought way of doing that.
I expected more VR. Much more VR.

From the perspective of early-90s, I was all-in on Plan 9 and expected to see a lot more influence from it. Unfortunately that didn't really happen, with a few exceptions (/proc).
Sounds cool to me. The ability to select your preferred ‘layer’ or collection of sounds for that environment would be good. I imagine a Wikipedia for real world locations could resonate with a lot of people.
The definition of meta has changed over time. My understanding is it got the current "abstract" "thing aboout itself" definition long after the term "metaphysics" was coined, which probably originally meant "things we don't have a good name for but should probably file after the stuff about physics"

Love the Icicle charts.

Anyone know if they will become available in Ploty.js?
Sorry, it's just a reference to the ruby-red control flow edge flowing through the intermediate representation graph nodes, like a root. The same line in the logo.

And it starts with R, so the idea was I could write a new command-line option -rhizome to enable it, but that would actually run a library hizome.rb, with -r being the standard option to load libraries in Ruby, so letting me add a new option to an unmodified Ruby.

Getting cancelled doesn't just cost your job, it also costs friends and family and possibly your spouse as well. So even if the probability is small the consequences can be so huge that any person prone to anxiety won't be able to live with the risk and instead just changes their behaviour to avoid it. And when anxious people don't they just commit suicide when it happens, making the effective consequence death, avoiding that at all cost seems reasonable.
I completely respect that for many people the office is a fulcrum of their social life and they don’t want that to change. The remote work revolution actually makes that easier, not harder. We just have to get past the anachronistic idea that the people you share an office with also need to have the same company name written at the top of their paycheques.

Invest the money saved on leases and cleaners on coworking memberships for those that want them. They can pick somewhere local with a pleasant commute. They’ll meet and share a space with people from their local area. They’ll be energised by interesting conversations with people from other industries. They can form friendships without the weird distortions of power imbalances caused by their positions in an org chart.

If the person at the next desk makes a weird noise when they breathe and always leaves dirty dishes in the sink? Cancel your desk and try a different place. No biggie.

Remote work doesn’t have to mean work from home. It’s up to you.
> I did wonder, what would it be like if something went wrong... What would I experience? Would the world suddenly go dark? Would my conscious awareness and this chain of experience I call my self suddenly shift to something else?

> "innocent until proven guilty" applies to the court

No. The legal system codifies societal values we have. One of those values is that accusations without evidence, like rumors and gossip, are poor reflections of reality, and should never be used to judge someone's character.

That doesn't mean much considering no company is getting to L5 autonomy likely in our lifetime and possibly beyond.
I agree about LIDARs not being the best general 3D mapping method, my point was mostly about using it as a dumb physics-based safety system. For autonomous trucks, limited LIDAR range could be mitigated by reducing speed accordingly and/or employing more powerful (or SWIR) LIDARs since trucks are more expensive and there could be a bigger budget for sensors

> Humans do it with vision alone

And despite humans having legs and birds having articulated wings, ground vehicles use wheels and airplanes use fixed wings with propellers or jets. Why?

Just because biology solves a problem a certain way doesn't make that same approach optimal for machines. Typically with machines you need to work around other systemic deficiencies.

Humans may have only two cameras, but those cameras are connected to a vision, spatial understanding, and reasoning system that is light years beyond what current day AI is capable of. But the good news is that we can make up for AI deficiencies by giving vehicles super-human sensing ability which makes those problems easier.

Tesla's approach seems to be one in which they think the sensors are the expensive/hard part and solving general AI is the cheap/easy part. I think plenty of people would not agree.

I got a glowing performance review at Amazon one year, and then with the exact same job/productivity level/attitude I got a bad review the year after. I did some digging, and it turned out that from the VP level down everyone in the org got a big "F U" from management as part of an effort to reduce the size of the org. I was wondering why all my teammates with more experience were jumping ship before that, and I learned the hard way.

What a fucking scam. You should quit peddling conspiracy theories and actually talk to people with a lot of experience in the industry. I just hope that you figure out how reality works the easy way (by listening to anyone in this thread).

After Amazon stabbed me in the back, I swore that I'd never again put work first over my own interests/family/health, and I haven't regretted that decision once in the 6+ years since then.
With this hindsight, any predictions for the future? 30 years from now?
As someone who is graduating from the IB program and who had previously taken honors, ironically enough, I see this as beneficial. The main value of public school is interacting with a diverse group of people, but in IB and honors the students were too (relatively speaking) anti-social and self-similar. In 9th grade I made more friends in my P.E class because it was more diverse and not in spite of it. The non-honors students also weren't dumb, they were distracted with enjoying their high-school experience which I find to be commendable.

Why not just make school harder but increase grade boundaries just like IB [1]. Additionally most of the IB students were self-learning, so its not like the school is doing much.

[1] https://www3.dpcdsb.org/STFXS/Documents/IB-2018-05_Grade_Bou...

I think a lot of the people who find this to be controversial are people who went to high-school pre-internet dominated learning, and who see honors as something necessary for "brighter" students to be able to succeed.
You are right and it probably wasn’t cheap, but at least comparable to the cost of going to court. If you have two options that cost around the same, but one will give you an immediate out, it’s likely you want to take the immediate out rather than taking additional risk for a what if.

On a side note, I know someone who’s company got sued, then when the lawyers came to the table to negotiate, they showed him a list of other companies that had previously settled with them and the amounts they had settled for. He said the lawyers had clearly done their homework in terms of estimating how much it would cost the company to go to court and the proposed settlement amount was within 10-15% of that estimate. He decided to settle.

"90s" programmer only by the skin of my teeth, but I didn't the internet centralizing. It just seemed like every company and person would have their site (and possibly domain) and they'd use that to communicate in their own way. My peers went to college before facebook and even friendster- we communicated by personal websites and blogs. These aren't technologists, but that was what was available to us so they picked up just enough html to publish.

I thought the future was making that publishing easier. I wasn't wrong about that- twitter and facebook are easy. I just missed the consequences of "easy" becoming "walled garden."
A lot more visible (i.e. on the street) robots.

We see robots in manufacturing plants (e.g. cars), but not too many visible when you walk down the street. Of course, they're there, but hidden inside various normal looking objects. Automatic street lights, driverless trains, boom gates for public transport.
calc.exe on Win10 2004 loads way faster than Excel on my machine, its not even close. cmd.exe and powershell.exe are also way faster than Excel. Terminal is a smidge faster than Excel but a hair slower than either cmd.exe or powershell.exe.

It’s already about 10x. But it is a bit tricky since they don’t break the numbers out by highway and local driving. Also their active safety features outside of AP also improve safety. So does it need to be 4-5x better than an already improved system that has AEB and lane departure avoidance and other safety features?

By comparison, NHTSA’s most recent data shows that in the United States there is an automobile crash every 484,000 miles.

But humans occupy physical space. Almost everyone would prefer more privacy and space to less. Hence if the human population keeps growing, the price of having physical privacy and space will also keep growing. It’s just the bitter reality of it.

In addition, often times the architecture or established land use patterns of certain neighborhoods act as an upper limit on population density. It really grinds my gears when people advocate for essentially paving over these crucial neighborhood characteristics. This effectively destroys local culture in the name of “inclusivity”. Granted, there are definitely more neighborhoods without any unique character than not, and it’s hard to feel any sympathy for paving them over. But there are certainly quite a few neighborhoods globally that are quite special, and in these places inclusivity tends to be a tragedy of the commons scenario.
