Yes, 15000 is a lot. But >2 billion people is a lot more. Wikipedia has far fewer people employed on content moderation yet they seem to fair just fine. This number throwing on Facebook "doing an effort" is an attempt to keep the toxic business model that they have a live at an acceptable rate. How many people would they save for hiring if they'd change the timeline into a chronological one instead of their current one? It'd be much harder to get as much attention than, but also less addictive, which is a net good for every human except for Facebook as a business.
It’s a sad phenomenon. I am assuming you were not very young when you saw that and you had that reaction due to life experience. A young person may not see anything wrong the question, and that’s why they’re an easy target for indoctrination. Freedom of religion will seem a strange concept fairly soon to younger generations. Paraphrasing Nietzsche, values should change very slowly and carefully- but we’re accelerating how quickly we throw the baby with the bath water. Not looking forward to “culture” by the time I get older, assuming the world is even stable.
Adding another middleman makes the thefts less efficient and less profitable for the thieves. Sounds like a win to me. Sure, it doesn't stop it completely. So what?
Micro APIs for Everyday Use
Like so many of these algorithms, there are a few perspectives, and the most useful way to contextualize it depends on the problem you're trying to solve.

I would say that it's both a dimensionality reduction and an approximate nearest neighbor search technique.

One example of a scenario where I think that the ANN perspective is more useful than the DR one is near duplicate detection. There, the buckets tend not to be treated as dimensions so much as filtered lists of items to consider for more detailed comparison. Assuming you're trying to do a high recall search for everything within one distance, you may just look at the union of all the matching buckets.

On the other hand, if you're doing a k-nearest-neighbors search (rather than a dragnet search for all items within some threshold), you might treat them more like dimensions, since the items that share more buckets with the search vector are likely to also be the most similar. So perhaps you start by ranking by Hamming distance in the LSH space, and then refine using comparisons in the higher-dimensional space.

> This is not democratic - you're describing a plutocracy.

You don't know what a plutocracy is. Anyone who holds a token can vote they don't need to be wealthy. Poor voters can pool their votes to get a majority bigger than wealthy voters if wanted, this type of governance is called a democracy.

> Ultimately you either need existing government to uphold the true intent of a smart contract or subject laypeople to understand highly complicated smart contract code to know whether what they're getting into is legit.

By this logic paper contracts are also worthless because they also require a government to uphold and a lawyer to know whether what you are getting into is legit.

Obviously having these paper contracts in a standardised way thats public is a gain to society, when we do that we call them smart contracts.

> This is not true, those who held crypto earlier will have more weight.

This is not true, early investors will have more crypto, this is the reward for investing early, the risk is that your millions of doge are worthless. This is just standard economics and investing.

I am sorry if you thought crypto currency was going to bring about the communist utopia but its just a better form of capitalism, which is a good thing if you live in a capitalist country.
PeerTube is pretty close to that, given its interoperability between instances. But you could easily argue it's not free (as in beer) to run a server.

Browsers have replaced their optimizing backends entirely a few times already. They all optimize similar kinds of code, but the details of when and how change all the time. Vendors have deprecated and regressed on whole benchmark suites when they've decided the tests no longer represent what they want to optimize for.

The biggest problem is that JIT is guided by heuristics. Observations from interpreters decide when code is advanced to higher optimization tiers, and that varies between implementations and changes relatively often. Your hottest code is also subject to JIT cache pressue and eviction policy, so you can't even rely on it staying hot across different machines using the exact same browser.
My feeling is the opposite- this is just overengineering, adding more code to test and maintain. The simple solution is what countless others have suggested - build a simple client, configure it using standard Laravel mechanisms and dependency injection. An API Call is just a method on the service class.
Every doctor's visit I've had in recent memory had a data sharing agreement I had to sign (or at least, that was presented to me) if I hadn't been there before.
Getting rid of tiles and similar seems like a substantial improvement, and might address part of people's complaints about Windows 10. The most important question, though: is Windows still "evergreen" with free updates, or will people have to buy Windows 11? The latter would mean we can't count on Windows systems being up to date. I was happily looking forward to the day when software could just support Windows 10 and no other Windows version.

> This is why they're quitting

The article doesn't say they're quitting because of slogans. From the article's citations, it sounds like they're quitting because they're essentially caught between a rock and a hard place; The public is angry with them because of little to no accountability and the police unions are too powerful and afraid to lose any bit of that power to be bothered to give an inch of accountability. It's an excruciating situation.
Actually, I would. It's a priming effect; by focusing on the notion that the rest of the media hates you, you're priming your audience to look at that media specifically to find examples of where it hates you, and indeed to specifically interpret it in a way that finds that the media hates you. The actual truth of that statement is rather less self-evident, and I suspect that far fewer people would agree that it is true without that priming effect.

To give a salient example: I read an article this morning about the ongoing attempt to overturn the 2020 election in Michigan, clearly something that has no respect for those people. Except... it actually has a lot of respect for them, far more than I think they deserve. It treats the request for an audit as nothing more than a request for the audit; there's no questioning on what purpose it could serve other than overturning the election results. There's also this quote: "Last week, a few hundred demonstrators carrying boxes of affidavits signed by thousands of people demanding a state ballot audit showed up at the Capitol." What it doesn't go on to explain is that the "affidavits" are actually foisted contracts that say in effect "if you don't agree to my demands in X days, you are in violation of the law," which has 0 legal effect whatsoever. Does it really "have no respect for [them]"?
Nope - for many fields you actually get access to top-notch minds on the cheap in comparison to what they would be paid in the private sector. This is not to say I think the current fees based system is the way it should be financed.

We use a very similar approach at Innolitics when working on medical-device projects for our clients. We've been slowly creating an open source tool to help streamline all of this (https://github.com/innolitics/rdm). We've used this tool to write 510(k)s for three of our clients now and have a couple of more submissions in progress. Each time we go through it we improve the tool a bit.

It handles requirements gathering, documentation generation, regulatory audits, and design documents. We also have been playing around with Structurizr DSL and so far like it quite a bit. We also have a backend that integrates with GitHub and plan to add backends for GitLab and Jira soon.

There's nothing wrong with being partisan. Bias is inevitable but you can still be biased and correct. Known biases can be compensated for so long as the source is otherwise principled.

The problem with US media is not the bias (and indeed there are plenty that go ridiculously far to be "fair" to both sides), but the laziness. While luckily it's rare major media sources to just straight up fabricate false claims, fact checking has become virtually non-existent. Parroting the reporting of other journalists word for word is considered acceptable, and it has become common to see articles cite "according to another paper's anonymous sources." Articles get stuffed with filler disguised as context which often gets filtered as it gets rereported to cut out important details. Retractions are rare, and never prominent despite the clear prioritization of publishing quickly over taking the time to write a well researched article. They've also noticed its cheaper and easier to put the words "breaking news" in front of a headline which by no measure is than to actually go out and find urgent stories.

The partisanship and hyperpolarization is simply there to kind of cover up the laziness. Someone questions my lack of evidence? They're just a sea-lioning troll with an obvious partisan goal. Lots of other sites disagree with me? Clearly they're just shills. Someone points out I don't know the difference between a russian and a ukrainian? How would you know unless you're a russian bot! The gibberish of a monkey with a typewriter would be defended if the monkey had the right political leanings.

Hubble is basically a repurposed spy satellite so it may still be sensitive. Although I doubt any of its sisters are still flying.
I've got to disagree with that. If you have the vague beginnings of an idea, it's a heavy burden to type them up into a document that can be distributed widely. Many ideas just won't get a chance to develop into anything if that's the only path for it. It's much smoother to float a few thoughts that might or might not lead to something to one or two people you have some trust for and know are knowledgeable about that domain. That's a quick and low-effort way to determine if a thought has any merit and deserves being developed further, or is a non-starter. I think it's friendlier as well to people who are more reluctant to spread an idea that might not be very good to a large group.

Their code is older than M1. That rail, when supplied by other vendors, was not live.
Let me be more precise: I think your claim that "The truth of it's almost irrelevant to the poll results" is obviously very wrong. The truth of it does have a lot to do with this perception, especially given 1. the rather more "sincere" journalistic norms we see even in the paper of record in 2021 compared to a few decades ago and 2. the fact that social media makes it easy for people to organically show each other the most egregious examples of this stuff, and I would even go so far as to say that it probably matters more than whatever Fox and talk radio are telling their audiences. Obviously that does also matter somewhat even now, and perhaps it was even more important than the truth of the matter when these right-wing news outlets were first making this claim decades ago, but to think that this widespread perception is "merely accidentally" correct and mainly a result of propaganda is to give the typical right-leaning American far too little credit.
Vice has a series called abandoned (available on Hulu). The fourth episode deals with water in California with a focus on the Salton Sea and Owens Lake.

Maybe there's a more nuanced view to take, but it paints a pretty bleak picture of Owens Lake and the problems caused because of Los Angeles piping the water out.

It's also pretty annoying to see Los Angeles not required to cut water usage given their extensive network of canals pulling water from the rest of the state.
Microsoft needs to hire a proper UX/UI team. It looks like developers designed it.
So when a major regulatory authority forbids Chrome from proceeding with the third party cookie deprecation plan, what should Google do? Apparently the vast majority of HN commenters think that they should ignore the regulators, and just plow ahead.

For some reason I imagine that if they actually were to ignore the regulators, the feedback from exactly the same commenters would not be positive.
If we're guessing, another reasonable guess is that they worked out a licensing deal so they wouldn't have to fight Amazon but they could still go after the next guy that tries it.
I agree it's not enough. I simply wanted to point out that Facebook, tacitly or otherwise, admits it's not a problem they can solve purely with technology right now (...without making massive changes to their platform that undercut their bottom line, as you said).
The Space Shuttle is the only vehicle ever built that can do in-orbit service. It's not that the Hubble is special in that regard, it is that the Shuttle was special.

Last time I checked (over a year ago now) the pipeline that checked for political ads in Washington state, which Facebook is not allowed to run, remained broken. A lot of stuff is like this.

It's probably not a question of Facebook policy directly, but of no one internally seeing any juicy line item on their performance review to justify working on it.

If you want motion from Facebook, you have to make it hurt so that someone can play hero for their performance review. Germany imposed large fines for Nazi related content showing up during elections a few years ago, and the fines were large and per impression. That got dealt with.
Last time I checked it was also very, very slow. It was around 6 months ago, maybe it’s improved since then.
That’s not the test, Word is a trademark despite WordPerfect coming out several years earlier. Trademark law is kind of silly, but forcing every product to be called either a made up word or some long description wouldn’t be a net benefit.
For precision, the Sapphire Clock outshines even the best atomic clocks
My understanding comes from Erlang’s HiPE optimizer (which was AoT rather than a JIT), but I think you’ve nailed it. Most JITs can’t optimize across a native↔interpreted boundary, any more than compilers can optimize across a dynamic-linkage (dlopen(2)) boundary. When all the code is interpreted, you get something that’s a lot more WPO-like.

IIRC, some very clever JITs do a waltz here:

1. replace the user’s “syscall” into the runtime, with emitted bytecode;

2. WPO the user’s bytecode together with the generated bytecode;

3. Find any pattern that still resembles the post-optimization form of part of the bytecode equivalent of the call into the runtime, and replace it back with a “syscall” to the runtime, for doing that partial step.

Maybe clearer with an example. Imagine there’s a platform-native function sha256(byte[]). The JIT would:

1. Replace the call to sha256(byte[]) with a bytecode loop over the buffer, plus a bunch of logic to actually do a sha256 to a fixed-size register;

2. WPO the code with that bytecode loop embedded;

3. Replace the core of the remnants of the sha256-to-a-fixed-size-register code, with a call to a platform-native sha256(register) function.

Does it require scientific study? If your company has their shit together then they already have data on how this affects their bottom line. Ask the people who work in that area then. It's not "science" but it's not useless either.
Everybody here is talking about "good" PMs... but OP seems to be talking about regular-average PMs. In that regard, regular-average PMs bring very little value in my experience, and sometimes they get better salaries than regular-average engineers.

I don't install these apps but what exactly is wrong with them and why is it "disgusting shit?" If I drive the speed limit or slower, stop for 3-4 seconds at every stop sign, don't accelerate quickly, etc., what's wrong with me having a lower auto insurance premium than someone with an identical profile who goes 10 over the limit everywhere and rolls through every 5th stop sign?

I'm not implying insurance companies are doing this out of altruism. If it resulted in a net decrease in profit, the apps wouldn't exist. But it does seem like a beneficial form of price discrimination. It seems like it's only "disgusting shit" if it makes your insurance premiums go up because you're a less safe driver.

I live in Canada as an immigrant and I am constantly ashamed of this history, and how indigenous people get treated to this day. RCMP often regard indigenous people as 3rd class citizens, like full on treating folk as criminals all the time. We have all this dialog about black lives matter and the disgusting reality is no one gives a single fuck about the most beaten down minority in Canada. I live in a very white province and work with many people of colour, but not one single native Canadian. All this HR drive to up our diversity but no one gives any thought, at all, to hiring indigenous people. I don't actually agree with hiring singularly for diversity, I believe in equal opportunity though. Even so, HR is up its own ass about driving diversity but this does not encompass native ethnicities. That conversation just does not happen at any level anywhere.

This all makes me so angry. Native Canadians had their children stolen, murdered, and buried in unmarked graves and there are people on this forum excusing it as being "best intentions". Can you imagine the reaction to this if the story was of African Slaves in the 1800s? These kids were murdered as late as the 1960s. And let's not forget the land that was stolen, the culture that was all but annihilated, the lives being ripped apart to this day through drugs and alcohol which is largely seen as a criminal nuisance rather than an epidemic that continues to marginalize and shun.

I could go on. The story is so sad, so dark, and still going on and covered up to this day. And we all gloss over it and pay lip service on CBC. Where is the criminal investigation? Where are the task forces looking for all the other mass graves?

I'm so saddened and ashamed by all of this. I've often thought of leaving Canada due to this shit, I live on unceded native territory for fuck's sake.
